As Ian has pointed you can use file system as a device for locking
between separate processes. This is not really something specific to Django.
On unix it can look like this:
from fcntl import flock, LOCK_EX
def lock():
f = open('somefile.lock', 'w')
flock(f, LOCK_EX)
return f
def unlock(f):
f.close()
On Windows, if I remember correctly, you don't use fcntl but use some
exclusive locking options for open().
