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.
