'''
Utility for simple distribution of work on multiple processes, by
making sure only one process is working on a job at once.

def pidfile_taken(path, verbose=False):
'''
Usage. To grab an exclusive lock for the remaining duration of the
current process (and exit if another process already has the lock),
do this:
if pidfile_taken('job_423/lockfile.pid', verbose=True):
sys.exit(0)
To do a batch of jobs, just run a script that does them all on
each available machine, sharing a network filesystem. When each
job grabs a lock, then this will automatically distribute the
jobs so that each one is done just once on one machine.
