Does InterProcessLock work with S3/Remote filesystem

[BrandonLiang]

e.g. (from https://pypi.org/project/fasteners/)

lock = fasteners.InterProcessLock('s3://my-bucket/path/to/lock.file') 

Use case: I have an integration test that modifies my S3 bucket (I have teardown setup). I want this integration test to run both locally and in CI/CD, so I want to use a lock to prevent race conditions but the filesystem is different between local and CI/CD.

I could not find a good existing solution, so created this PR: #114

Thanks Brandon!

It is much more difficult to implement the S3 support. I would like it to be a separate class, use generic methods to authenticate and to be covered by an extensive test suite.

Also, I'm surprised that this approach works, did you try this from two different machines? Does it really lock?

[BrandonLiang]

yes that approach makes sense. Feel free to refactor or close #114 for now

I haven't tested yet but will do shortly. I don't see any reason why it couldn't but will keep you posted
