PidFile class featuring:

stale detection

pidfile locking (fcntl)

chmod (default is 0o644)

chown

custom exceptions

Context Manager

PidFile can be used as a context manager:

from pid import PidFile

with PidFile():
  do_something()

Decorator

PidFile can also be used a a decorator:

from pid.decorator import pidfile

@pidfile()
def main():
  pass

if __name__ == "__main__":
  main()

Exception Order

In default mode PidFile will try to acquire a file lock before anything else. This means that normally you get a PidFileAlreadyLockedError instead of the PidFileAlreadyRunningError when running a program twice.

If you just want to know if a program is already running its easiest to catch just PidFileError since it will capture all possible PidFile exceptions.
