This package contains a single module, which implements a platform independent file lock in 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:
passWhat this filelock is not
A filelock provides a synchronisation mechanism between different instances of your application, similar to a thread lock. It can be used to signalize that files, directories or other resources are currently used or manipulated (Think of a sync.lock file). Only the existence of the lockfile is watched for this purpose. The file itself can not be written and is always empty.
