1*9c5db199SXin LiA simple module to expose the standard sem_* functions in Linux needed for 2*9c5db199SXin Liusing named semaphores. To compile, run: 3*9c5db199SXin Li 4*9c5db199SXin Lipython setup.py build 5*9c5db199SXin Li 6*9c5db199SXin LiThis will produce a namedsem.so file; put this file somewhere on your python 7*9c5db199SXin Liimport path and you should be able to import it as a module called namedsem. 8*9c5db199SXin Li 9*9c5db199SXin LiBefore actually using this in python code, it really should be wrapped in 10*9c5db199SXin Lisomething like the threading.Semaphore class. The module simply exposes the raw 11*9c5db199SXin LiC functions with very little error checking. 12
