The zc.lockfile package provides a basic portable implementation of
|
||
|
|
interprocess locks using lock files. The purpose if not specifically to lock
|
||
|
|
files, but to simply provide locks with an implementation based on file-locking
|
||
|
|
primitives. Of course, these locks could be used to mediate access to other
|
||
|
|
files. For example, the ZODB file storage implementation uses file locks to
|
||
|
|
mediate access to file-storage database files. The database files and lock file
|
||
|
|
files are separate files.
