Allow to run multiple instances in parallel

[DDani]

Hi,
currently when dynamic-dynamodb starts in daemon mode, it creates a pid file on this location:
daemon = DynamicDynamoDBDaemon('/tmp/dynamic-dynamodb.pid')

Since this is harcoded, it is not possible to run multiple instances od dynamic-dynamodb.

Regards,

Perfect, thanks. I should have thought about that. Will look into it.

I have been looking into the code slightly. I am thinking about implementing a --instance / --instance-name flag as a command line option. The flag should be set differently to control different daemons. If the flag is optional and if it is not set Dynamic DynamoDB will control the default daemon only.

Will think a bit more about it. But the implementation is quite straight forward.

I like this approach, much better than the one I was adding just know (by adding a --pid-file-name arg).

This has been implemented and the name of the daemon instances are set using the --instance flag. If the flag is not set it defaults to a default daemon name.

Thanks for the feedback @DDani !

FYI, Dynamic DynamoDB 1.3.0 has been released to PyPI. You can upgrade to the latest version with pip install -U dynamic-dynamodb
