twisted.internet.defer.DeferredFilesystemLock : API documentation

Method	__init__
Method	deferUntilLocked	Wait until we acquire this lock. This method is not safe for concurrent use.
Instance Variable	_scheduler	The object in charge of scheduling retries. In this implementation this is parameterized for testing.
Instance Variable	_interval	The retry interval for an `IReactorTime` based scheduler.
Instance Variable	_tryLockCall	A `DelayedCall` based on `_interval` that will manage the next retry for acquiring the lock.
Instance Variable	_timeoutCall	A `DelayedCall` based on `deferUntilLocked`'s timeout argument. This is in charge of timing out our attempt to acquire the lock.

Inherited from FilesystemLock:

Instance Variable	name	The name of the file associated with this lock.
Instance Variable	clean	Indicates whether this lock was released cleanly by its last owner. Only meaningful after `lock` has been called and returns True.
Instance Variable	locked	Indicates whether the lock is currently held by this object.
Method	lock	Acquire this lock.
Method	unlock	Release this lock.

_scheduler =

The object in charge of scheduling retries. In this implementation this is parameterized for testing.

_interval =

The retry interval for an IReactorTime based scheduler.

_tryLockCall =

A DelayedCall based on _interval that will manage the next retry for acquiring the lock.

_timeoutCall =

A DelayedCall based on deferUntilLocked's timeout argument. This is in charge of timing out our attempt to acquire the lock.

def __init__(self, name, scheduler=None): (source)

Parameters	name	The name of the lock to acquire
	scheduler	An object which provides `IReactorTime`

def deferUntilLocked(self, timeout=None): (source)

Wait until we acquire this lock. This method is not safe for concurrent use.

Parameters	timeout	the number of seconds after which to time out if the lock has not been acquired. (type: `float` or `int`)
Returns	a `Deferred` which will callback when the lock is acquired, or errback with a `TimeoutError` after timing out or an `AlreadyTryingToLockError` if the `deferUntilLocked` has already been called and not successfully locked the file.
