[egenix-users] Bug in {BeeBase,Misc}/FileLock.py

[Rune Froysa]

I needed a lockfile implementation to prevent two instances of a
script from running at the same time, and the FileLock module seems to
fit my needs perfectly.  I'm a bit surprised that this bug
(TypeError: not all arguments converted) hasn't been encountered
earlier.
