I am trying to lock a file so no other process can get read nor write
access to it. I thought this was possible with os.open(filename,
os.O_EXCL), but that is not working. I am aware of the win32file
option to do file locking, so my question is this: what is the purpose
of the os.O_EXCL flag?<br>
<br>
Thanks for any help.<br>
