Hi,
This looks like a nice option for implementing locking of task files.
Cheers, Frank

Subject: lockfile 0.6 supports Python 2.x and 3.x
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I've just released lockfile 0.6. This version supports Python 2.4, 2.5, 2.6
and 3.0. It also expands the unit tests a bit.
What is lockfile?
The lockfile module exports a FileLock class which provides a simple API
for locking files. Unlike the Windows msvcrt.locking function, the Unix
fcntl.flock, fcntl.lockf and the deprecated posixfile module, the API is
identical across both Unix (including Linux and Mac) and Windows
platforms. The lock mechanism relies on the atomic nature of the link
(on Unix) and mkdir (On Windows) system calls.
Where can I get lockfile?
The lockfile module is available from the Python Package Index:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/lockfile
Please send feedback, questions and bug reports to me.
