namregzhello, is it normal to have a .lock, .tmp, and .index left behind after accessing a zodb ... such as with the tutorial at readthedocs.org.15:44
namregzI added a db.close() and still the lock is left behind15:44
J1mnamregz, yes.16:27
J1mKeeping the lock around is important for it's correct functioning.16:28
namregzafter it's closed? after the program exits?16:33

J1mnamregz, yes17:29
J1mThe goal of that lock is to guard against multiple processes accessing the same file.17:29
namregzI see, I thought when the process was done it should remove the lock ...17:30
namregztypical dotlock17:31
namregzthought wrong I guess, thank you17:31
J1mThe lock is using fcntl-style locking. If it isn't there, there's a race condition between 2 processes creating it at the same time.17:38
J1m(nfc what happens on windows :)17:38
J1mI suppose it could be supplemented with a only-create-if-new flag, at least on posix systems.17:39
namregzwindows ... I think that's what the CIA uses now instead of waterboarding17:52
