There may be an easier way to achieve what you want. If you only need a 
counter, then conflict resolution may help. If you need a unique id, a random 
one may ok.

If you only need a small number of unique ids then there may be a cheeky 
option..... the method for allocating ZODB OIDs has all of the 
characteristics that you need. You could use an oid of a newly created object 
as your unique id, or call the storage.new_oid method directly.
