Bug Description
file locking library for Python
The ‘lockfile’ module exports a ‘FileLock’ class which provides a simple API for locking files.
Other back ends are possible with the same semantics; an example ‘SQLiteFileLock’ class is included, that uses an SQLite database for the lock implementation.
Unlike other Python locking libraries (the Windows ‘msvcrt.locking’ function, the Unix ‘fcntl.flock’, ‘fcntl.lockf’, and the deprecated ‘posixfile’ module), the API is identical across both Unix (including GNU/Linux and MacOS) and Windows platforms.
