<!-- ==================== MODULE DESCRIPTION ==================== -->
<h1 class="epydoc">Module portalocker</h1><span class="codelink"><a href="web2py.gluon.portalocker-pysrc.html">source&nbsp;code</a></span><br /><br />
<pre class="literalblock">

Cross-platform (posix/nt) API for flock-style file locking.

Synopsis:

   import portalocker
   file = open(&quot;somefile&quot;, &quot;r+&quot;)
   portalocker.lock(file, portalocker.LOCK_EX)
   file.seek(12)
   file.write(&quot;foo&quot;)
   file.close()

If you know what you're doing, you may choose to

   portalocker.unlock(file)

before closing the file, but why?

Methods:

   lock( file, flags )
   unlock( file )

Constants:

   LOCK_EX
   LOCK_SH
   LOCK_NB

I learned the win32 technique for locking files from sample code
provided by John Nielsen &lt;nielsenjf@my-deja.com&gt; in the documentation
that accompanies the win32 modules.
