Summary of Changes

Hello @skuruppu, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request introduces a new code example for Google Cloud Spanner, focusing on the configuration of read lock modes within read-write transactions. The added snippet provides clear guidance on how to apply read lock settings both globally at the client level and specifically for individual transactions, enhancing flexibility for developers managing concurrency. This change improves the documentation and usability of Spanner's transaction options.

Highlights

• New Snippet for Read Lock Mode: A new Python snippet, read_lock_mode_options, has been added to demonstrate how to configure read lock modes for Google Cloud Spanner read-write transactions.
• Client-Level Configuration: The snippet illustrates setting a default read lock mode (e.g., OPTIMISTIC) at the Spanner client level, which applies to all subsequent read-write transactions.
• Transaction-Level Override: It also shows how to override the client-level read lock mode with a different mode (e.g., PESSIMISTIC) for a specific transaction, providing granular control.
• Snippet Integration and Testing: The new snippet has been integrated into the command-line interface for snippets.py and includes a corresponding unit test in snippets_test.py to ensure its functionality.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a new snippet to demonstrate setting the read lock mode for Spanner transactions, both at the client and transaction level. The changes include the new snippet function, its command-line integration, and a corresponding unit test. The implementation is sound, but there's a minor style issue regarding the placement of the docstring in the new function, which I've commented on.

[gemini-code-assist]

According to PEP 257, a function's docstring should be the first statement within the function body. To adhere to this convention, please move the import statement to be after the docstring.

1. A docstring is a string literal that occurs as the first statement in a module, function, class, or method definition. Such a docstring becomes the doc special attribute of that object. ^(link)

Good catch fixing the typo in the test function name from test_isolated_level_options to test_isolation_level_options. This improves consistency with the function it's testing (isolation_level_options).
