LottaNZB

Platform-independent lockfile mechanism

Registered by Severin H on 2008-12-22

Currently, we use util.Flock to prevent multiple instances of LottaNZB from being launched. The code is mostly based on http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/498171 and only works on POSIX systems. It would be a good idea to have something platform-independent.

Whiteboard

I'm currently experimenting with http://pypi.python.org/pypi/lockfile/0.6, which is said to work equally well on Linux, Mac and Windows machines.
