Description-en: file locking library for Python — Python 3 library
The ‘lockfile’ library exports a ‘LockFile’ class which provides a
simple API for locking files.
.
The appropriate implementation for ‘LockFile’ is chosen automatically
based on the OS capabilities for an atomic filesystem operation.
These implementations are also available for explicit use as
‘LinkLockFile’ and ‘MkdirLockFile’.
.
Other back ends are possible with the same semantics. Examples
included are:
* ‘SQLiteLockFile’, using records in an SQLite database.
* ‘PIDLockFile’, using the semantics of a Unix PID file.
.
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.
.
This package installs the Python 3 library.
