Tested on Mac OS X 10.6.6 and Ubuntu 10.10 with Python 2.6.6

To try it out, open up a python shell and type:
>>> from lock import FileLock
>>> lock = FileLock("my_lock", dir="/var/tmp")
>>> lock.acquire()

Leave the first shell open, and open another python shell and type the same thing:
>>> from lock import FileLock
>>> lock = FileLock("my_lock", dir="/var/tmp")
