Hi Ervin- If only one instance of the app is running at a given time, and you only need to ensure mutual exclusion between its threads, you should probably not use a lock *file* for this. I would strongly recommend that you use a threading.Lock as per https://docs.python.org/2.5/lib/module-threading.html instead of a lock file. This will also allow you to avoid a 0.2-second polling loop; a call to threading.Lock.acquire() will block until it is released by another thread. MMR...
