 - filelock is a platform-independent file lock for Python. Prior to 4.2.1, UnixFileLock can truncate a
 regular file renamed onto the lock path when another local user has actual rename permission, or hard-
 linked there under a permissive hard-link policy; when an explicit mode is requested, affected versions
