Asynchronous file lock using portalocker.
This module wraps portalocker for asynchronous use. Use
Lock with async with to get a file lock without blocking the
event loop. The implementation polls with asyncio.sleep.
The lock supports exclusive and shared modes and a configurable timeout/polling interval.
Examples
Acquire an exclusive lock:
async with Lock("/var/lock/my.lock"):
# protected critical section
do_stuff()
Acquire a shared lock with a short timeout:
async with Lock("/var/lock/my.lock", shared=True, timeout=0.5):
read_shared_resource()
