Bug#517666: [ITP] python-lockfile: file locking library for Python



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

  Package name    : python-lockfile
  Version         : 0.7
  Upstream Author : Skip Montanaro <skip@pobox.com>
  URL             : http://pypi.python.org/pypi/lockfile
  License         : Expat (MIT/X11)

Description: file locking library for Python
 The ‘lockfile’ module exports a ‘FileLock’ class which provides a
 simple API for locking files.
 .
 Other back ends are possible with the same semantics; an example
 ‘SQLiteFileLock’ class is included, that uses an SQLite database for
 the lock implementation.
 .
 Unlike other Python locking libraries (the Windows ‘msvcrt.locking’
 function, the Unix ‘fcntl.flock’, ‘fcntl.lockf’, and the deprecated
 ‘posixfile’ module), the API is identical across both Unix (including
 GNU/Linux and MacOS) and Windows platforms.
