mutapath.lock_dummy.DummyFileLock

class mutapath.lock_dummy.DummyFileLock(lock_file: str | os.PathLike[Any], timeout: float = -1, mode: int = 420, thread_local: bool = True)

Bases: BaseFileLock

Create a new lock object.

Parameters:

• lock_file – path to the file

• timeout – default timeout when acquiring the lock, in seconds. It will be used as fallback value in

the acquire method, if no timeout value (None) is given. If you want to disable the timeout, set it to a negative value. A timeout of 0 means, that there is exactly one attempt to acquire the file lock. :param mode: file permissions for the lockfile. :param thread_local: Whether this object’s internal context should be thread local or not. If this is set to False then the lock will be reentrant across threads.
