A platform independent file lock.

Project description

This package contains a single module, which implements a platform independent file locking mechanism for Python.

The lock includes a lock counter and is thread safe. This means, when locking the same lock object twice, it will not block.

import filelock

lock = filelock.FileLock("my_lock_file")

with lock:
        pass

try:
        with lock.acquire(timeout = 10):
                pass
except filelock.Timeout:
        pass
