mt.base.locket

File-based resource lock that can be used by multiple processes provided they use the same path.

Example

``` from mt.base 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()

```
