Hmmm... Still not seeing os.close(fl)... > And I think, the "(deleted)" info near the filename in proc/PID/fd > means the lockfile had been deleted. os.remove() will remove the lockfile name from the directory.

When I was still maintaining it, it worked with 2.5, and I distributed a patch you could apply to get it to work with 2.4. I'm not sure if the current maintainers have changed that. You'd have to look. If worse comes to worst, I believe 0.9.1 (the last version I released) should still work with 2.5. Skip -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
