./wip/py-lockfile, Platform-independent file locking module

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 0.9.1, Package name: py27-lockfile-0.9.1, Maintainer: kamel.derouiche

The lockfile package exports a LockFile class which provides a simple API for
locking files. Unlike the Windows msvcrt.locking function, the fcntl.lockf and
flock functions, and the deprecated posixfile module, the API is identical
across both Unix (including Linux and Mac) and Windows platforms. The lock
mechanism relies on the atomic nature of the link (on Unix) and mkdir
(on Windows) system calls. An implementation based on SQLite is also provided,
more as a demonstration of the possibilities it provides than as
production-quality code.

Log message:
Updating to 0.9.1 before importing to pkgsrc

Note: In version 0.9 the API changed in two significant ways:
	It changed from a module defining several classes to a package
	containing several modules, each defining a single class.
	Where classes had been named SomethingFileLock before the last two
	words have been reversed, so that class is now SomethingLockFile.
