Can we use Preemptive Resource with a Container in simpy?

I’m working on a simulation working with simpy where i’ve a class like this:

class memory:
    def __init__(self, env: Environment, size: int, memory_name: str):
        """Instantiation function

        Args:
        env (Environment): simpy environment
        size (int): Size of memory
        """
        self.is_accessed = PreemptiveResource(env, 1)
        self.container: Container = Container(env, size, size)
    

My goal is to access the variable self.container with some priority but i don’t want to block the other process to try accessing it.
By that i mean. I’ll have several process with level 1,2 or 3 of priority. which can access the container. And it’s only when the process ask for too much that i’d need to prioritize.
If i block the access with :

with self.is_accessed.request(my_prioritie, True) as access:
    self.container.get(value)

It block also another process to access the container even if there is still place in the container.
Do you see other ways?
