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. - -Note: In version 0.9 the API changed in two significant ways: - - * It changed from a module defining several classes to a package containing - several modules, each defining a single class. - - * Where classes had been named SomethingFileLock before the last two words - have been reversed, so that class is now SomethingLockFile. - -The previous module-level definitions of LinkFileLock, MkdirFileLock and -SQLiteFileLock will be retained until the 1.0 release. - -Available on GitHub from: - - git://github.com/smontanaro/pylockfile.git - -To install: - - python setup.py install |
