Open(cls, filename)
Class Method

source code 

Creates and opens a file to be used as a file-based lock.

Parameters:
  • filename (string) - path to the file to be locked

_flock(self, flag, blocking, timeout, errmsg)

source code 

Wrapper for fcntl.flock.

Parameters:
  • flag (int) - operation flag
  • blocking (bool) - whether the operation should be done in blocking mode.
  • timeout (None or float) - for how long the operation should be retried (implies non-blocking mode).
  • errmsg (string) - error message in case operation fails.

Exclusive(self, blocking=False, timeout=None)

source code 

Locks the file in exclusive mode.

Parameters:
  • blocking (boolean) - whether to block and wait until we can lock the file or return immediately
  • timeout (int or None) - if not None, the duration to wait for the lock (in blocking mode)

Shared(self, blocking=False, timeout=None)

source code 

Locks the file in shared mode.

Parameters:
  • blocking (boolean) - whether to block and wait until we can lock the file or return immediately
  • timeout (int or None) - if not None, the duration to wait for the lock (in blocking mode)

Unlock(self, blocking=True, timeout=None)

source code 

Unlocks the file.

According to flock(2), unlocking can also be a nonblocking operation:

 To make a non-blocking request, include LOCK_NB with any of the above
 operations.
Parameters:

  • timeout (int or None) - if not None, the duration to wait for the lock (in blocking mode)
