Package: python-lockfile
Version: 1:0.8-2
Severity: important
The lockfile package does not correctly handle locking multiple files on Linux
systems. Consider the following script:
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: iso-8859-1 -*-
import lockfile
import time
a = lockfile.FileLock('/tmp/a')
b = lockfile.FileLock('/tmp/b')
a.acquire()
b.acquire()
b.release()
a.release()
print 'Done!'
This script should clearly execute correctly (as long as /tmp is present) but
instead terminates with the following:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./test2.py", line 12, in <module>
a.release()
File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/lockfile.py", line 273, in release
raise NotMyLock
lockfile.NotMyLock
That is, it fails to release the *second* lock.
