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

Branch: pkgsrc-2020Q2, Version: 0.12.2, Package name: py37-lockfile-0.12.2, 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.
