- The lockfile module exports a FileLock class which provides a simple API for
- locking files. Unlike the Windows msvcrt.locking function, the fcntl.lockf
- and flock functions, and the deprecated posixfile module, the API is
- identical across both Unix (including Linux and Mac) and Windows platforms.
- The lock mechanism relies on the atomic nature of the link (on Unix) and
- mkdir (on Windows) system calls. An implementation based on SQLite is also
- provided, more as a demonstration of the possibilities it provides than as
- production-quality code.
- To install:
- python setup.py install
