Overview

A python package that provides useful locks.

It includes the following.

Helpful locked decorator (that acquires instance objects lock(s) and acquires on method entry and releases on method exit).

Single writer using file based locking (these automatically release on process exit, even if __release__ or __exit__ is never called).
Helpful interprocess_locked decorator.

A try_lock helper context manager that will attempt to acquire a given lock and provide back whether the attempt passed or failed (if it passes, then further code in the context manager will be ran with the lock acquired).
