Distributed locks for Django using DB (MySQL/Postgres)

Given the limitation that Percona Cluster does not support MySQL locks, this app implements locks using `select_for_update()` (row locks).

Installation
------------

    pip install django-database-locks


Usage
-----

`django-database-locks` exposes one single the `lock` contextmanager and the `locked` decorator.

The `locked` decorator will wrap a django management command (subclasses of `django.core.management.base.BaseCommand`) or any function with the `lock` contextmanager:


.. code-block:: python

    from django.core.management.base import BaseCommand

    from database_locks import locked

    @locked
    class Command(BaseCommand):
        ...
        def handle(self, *args, **options):
            self.stdout.write('Got the lock')


.. code-block:: python

    from database_locks import locked
    
    class SomeClass:
      def non_locked(self):
        pass
      
      @locked
      def locked(self):
        print('got lock')

.. code-block:: python

    from database_locks import lock
    
    class SomeClass:
      def non_locked(self):
        pass
      
      def locked(self):
        with lock():
            print('got lock')

Docs
----

Both `lock` and `locked` have the same optional args:

.. code-block:: python

    :param lock_name: unique name in DB for this function
    :param timeout: numbers of seconds to wait to acquire lock
    :param lock_ttl: expiration timer of the lock, in seconds (set to None to infinite)
    :param locked_by: owner id for the lock (if lock is active but owner is the same, returns acquired)
    :param auto_renew: if set to True will re-acquire lock (for `lock_ttl` seconds) before `lock_ttl` is over.
                       auto_renew thread will raise KeyboardInterrupt on the main thread in case re-acquiring fails
    :param retry: retry every `retry` seconds acquiring until successful. set to None or 0 to disable.
    :param lost_lock_cb: callback function when lock is lost (when re-acquiring). defaults to raising LockException

There are also the following options you can specify in the project `settings.py`

- *DATABASE_LOCKS_STATUS_FILE*: file that will be updated with the lock status (default `None`). Useful when you have multiple shared-lock processes, to quickly inspect which one has the lock.
- *DATABASE_LOCKS_ENABLED*: set to `False` to globally disable locks (default `True`)
- *DATABASE_LOCKS_DEFAULT_TTL*: global lock TTL value (default `10`) which is ignored when `lock_ttl` is specified
- *DATABASE_LOCKS_DEFAULT_TTL_RENEW*: number of seconds to renew lock before TTL expires (default `2`)


Testing
-------

Tox is used by the Github Action to test several python and django versions, with both MySQL and Postgres.

To quickly test locally, kick off a MySQL and/or Postgres docker container:


    docker run -d --name locks-test \
               -p 8877:3306 \
               -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root \
               mysql:5.7

    docker run -d --name locks-test-psql \
               -p 8878:5432 \
               -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres \
               postgres:10


List available environments with `tox -l` and then run the one you want/have:

    tox -e py39-dj32-mysql
    # or
    tox -e py39-dj32-postgresql -e py39-dj32-mysql
