> John Lenton: Also, if you use something where the process doesn't terminate between calls (such as mod_python, I guess), you have to be sure to write the try/finallys around your locking code, because the OS only cleans up the lock when the process exits.
This is what I feared. What happens in the case of a power failure? Am I left with locked files floating around? Michele Simionato -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
