1 A simple module to expose the standard sem_* functions in Linux needed for 2 using named semaphores. To compile, run: 3 4 python setup.py build 5 6 This will produce a namedsem.so file; put this file somewhere on your python 7 import path and you should be able to import it as a module called namedsem. 8 9 Before actually using this in python code, it really should be wrapped in 10 something like the threading.Semaphore class. The module simply exposes the raw 11 C functions with very little error checking. 12
