=========
|
|
|
|
Locket implements a lock that can be used by multiple processes provided they use the same path.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
import locket
|
|
|
|
# Wait for lock
|
|
with locket.lock_file("path/to/lock/file"):
|
|
perform_action()
|
|
|
|
# Raise error if lock cannot be acquired immediately
|
|
with locket.lock_file("path/to/lock/file", timeout=0):
|
|
perform_action()
|
|
|
|
# Raise error if lock cannot be acquired after thirty seconds
|
|
with locket.lock_file("path/to/lock/file", timeout=30):
|
|
perform_action()
|
|
|
|
# Without context managers:
|
|
lock = locket.lock_file("path/to/lock/file")
|
|
try:
|
|
lock.acquire()
|
|
perform_action()
|
|
finally:
|
|
lock.release()
|
|
|
|
Locks largely behave as (non-reentrant) `Lock` instances from the `threading`
|
|
module in the standard library. Specifically, their behaviour is:
|
|
|
|
* Locks are uniquely identified by the file being locked,
|
|
both in the same process and across different processes.
|
|
|
|
* Locks are either in a locked or unlocked state.
|
|
|
|
* When the lock is unlocked, calling `acquire()` returns immediately and changes
|
|
the lock state to locked.
|
|
|
|
* When the lock is locked, calling `acquire()` will block until the lock state
|
|
changes to unlocked, or until the timeout expires.
|
|
|
|
* If a process holds a lock, any thread in that process can call `release()` to
|
|
change the state to unlocked.
|
|
|
|
* Behaviour of locks after `fork` is undefined.
