Two-Phase Commit Protocol (2PC) Simulation in Python

Explanation

Participant Class

Simulates a participant in the 2PC protocol. It has methods to vote on the transaction and to commit or abort the transaction.

Coordinator Class

Manages the 2PC protocol. It sends the prepare message, collects votes, and then sends either a commit or abort message based on the votes.

simulate_2pc Function

Creates participants and a coordinator, then initiates the 2PC protocol.

Running the Code

To run the code, simply execute the script. It will simulate the 2PC protocol with random votes from the participants.

This is a basic simulation and doesn't include network communication, persistence, or fault tolerance mechanisms. In a real-world implementation, you would need to handle these aspects to ensure the robustness and reliability of the 2PC protocol.
