Description: # Py-FileLock
        This package contains a single module [filelock](filelock.py), which implements
        a platform independent file locking mechanism for Python.
        
        
        ## Examples
        ```Python
        import filelock
        
        lock = filelock.FileLock("my_lock_file")
        
        # This is the easiest way to use the file lock. Note, that the FileLock object
        # blocks until the lock can be acquired.
        with lock:
        	print("Doing awesome stuff")
        
        # If you don't want to wait an undefined time for the file lock, you can use
        # the *acquire* method to provide a *timeout* paramter:
        try:
        	with lock.acquire(timeout=10):
        		print("Doing more awesome stuff!")
        except filelock.Timeout as err:
        	print("Could not acquire the file lock. Leaving here!")
        	exit(1)
        
        # When you're using Python 3.3+, *filelock.Timeout* is a subclass of
        # *TimeoutError* else OSError. So you can do this too:
        try:
        	with lock.acquire(timeout=10):
        		print("Doing more awesome stuff!")
        except TimeoutError as err:
        	print("Could not acquire the file lock. Leaving here!")
        	exit(1)
        	
        # If you don't want to use or if you can't use the *with-statement*, the 
        # example above is equal to this one:
        try:
        	lock.acquire(timeout=10)
        except filelock.Timeout as err:
        	print("Could not acquire the file lock. Leaving here!")
        	exit(1)
        else:
        	print("Doing more awesome stuff!")
        finally:
        	lock.release()
        ```
