Assuming I created a program in Python and it works perfectly, how do I only allow one instance of the program at a time? I searched Google and found a person saying they solved the question using PIDs, but it was not in Python and there were no more details, nor did I find information about the solution mentioned.
How to only allow one instance of a program made in Python?

Form 1
Save a file somewhere, and you can check if the process is running if the pid already exists in the file. Note that it will be necessary to delete the file after finishing execution.
Save the # process ID to a temporary file. And check to see if this file exists at the beginning of the program, besides deleting the file when the process is terminated.
import os
import sys
pid = str(os.getpid())
pidfile = "/tmp/mydaemon.pid"
if os.path.isfile(pidfile):
print ("Processo já existe e não será executado novamente")
sys.exit(-1)
else:
#seu programa aqui
facaAlgo()
os.unlink(pidfile)
Form 2
When using
from tendo import singleton
me = singleton.SingleInstance() # roda sys.exit(-1) se existe outra instância.
