lock('unique_lock_name')

Next usage of lock on the same lock name raises LockError exception.

You can configure locker mechanism through DEFAULT_LOCKER_CLASS settings or directly:

from django_extra_tools.lockers import FileLocker

lock = FileLocker()('unique_lock_name')

FileLocker

This is a default locker.

This locker creates a unique_lock_name.lock file in temp directory.

You can configure this locker through settings:

DEFAULT_LOCKER_CLASS = 'django_extra_tools.lockers.FileLocker'

CacheLocker

This locker creates a locker-unique_lock_name key in cache.

You can configure this locker through settings:

DEFAULT_LOCKER_CLASS = 'django_extra_tools.lockers.CacheLocker'
