RSFILE
RSFile provides pure-python drop-in replacements for the classes of the io module, and for the open() builtin.
Its goal is to provide a cross-platform, reliable, and comprehensive synchronous file I/O API, with advanced features like fine-grained opening modes, shared/exclusive file record locking, thread-safety, disk cache synchronization, file descriptor inheritability, and handy stat getters (size, inode, times…).
Locking is performed using actual file record locking capabilities of the OS, not by using separate files/directories as locking markers, or other fragile gimmicks.
Possible use cases for this library: concurrently writing to logs without ending up with garbled data, manipulating sensitive data like disk-based databases, synchronizing heterogeneous producer/consumer processes when multiprocessing semaphores aren’t an option, etc.
Tested on CPython3, on windows and unix-like systems. Should work with IronPython/Jython/PyPy too, since it uses stdlib utilities and ctypes bridges.

INSTALL
$ pip install rsfile
QUICKSTART
from pathlib import Path
from rsfile import rsopen
path = Path("myfile.txt")
with rsopen(path, "w") as f:
f.write("This string will be veeeeeryyyyy safely written to file.")
with rsopen(path, "WANISB", locking=False, thread_safe=False) as f:
f.write(b"See the docs for info on these cool new modes and parameters.")See CONTRIBUTING.rst for development advice (testing, benchmarking…)
