➡️ Modern Python Redirect

This package ensures you are using a secure version of filelock on Python 3.11.

Since Python 3.11 is supported by the official upstream maintainers, this LTS package acts as a Meta-Package / Proxy.

How it works

Installing this package automatically installs the official filelock >= 3.20.1, which contains the official fix for CVE-2025-68146.

pip install filelock-lts-py3.11

Why use this?

• Consistency: Use filelock-lts across your entire fleet (legacy and modern) without changing requirements files.
• Future Proofing: If a new vulnerability appears and upstream is slow to react, we will deploy a "Pre-Patch" here first.

🔮 The Future: Proactive Security

We are building the Filelock LTS Runtime Ecosystem. In future releases, this package will support:

1. Pre-Patch Protocols (Alpha): We will release "Pre-Patch" versions (e.g., 0.2026.1234) immediately upon vulnerability discovery, allowing you to patch before upstream maintainers release official fixes.
2. Runtime Protection: A filelock-lts-runtime module that scans your environment and hot-patches vulnerable libraries in memory without requiring a restart.
3. Configurable Policies: Choose between warn, block, or sandbox modes for file operations.
