Yes, maybe so. I'm just way behind the times and didn't realize flock would block until existing incompatible locks are released. That may solve the whole timeout/retry problem. I should have checked the docs more carefully earlier; I was thinking only in terms of opening with O_EXCL. Thanks! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
