Python module for an atomic named lock which is local to the machine.

Project description

Python module for an atomic named-lock which is local to the machine.

NamedAtomicLock works by taking advantage of the fact that POSIX defines mkdir to be an atomic operation. So a directory is used as the name.

All UNIX systems are supported, overhead is light, and the lock is global to the system.

The NamedAtomicLock module provides a class NamedAtomicLock which implements the “lock” interface, with familiar “acquire” and “release” methods.

Documentation

Example

A basic usage example

myLock = NamedAtomicLock(‘myLock’)

if myLock.acquire(timeout=15):

doWork()

myLock.release()
