Refactored locking algorithm in the worker

[vdbergh]

The locking code in the worker is a bit messy, so I took it out and refactored it as a separate package https://pypi.org/search/?q=openlock . The GitHub repository is here https://github.com/vdbergh/openlock .

I would propose to include this in the worker. However the question is how?

The package is basically two files. The main code is openlock.py and the unit tests are in test_openlock.py.

test_openlock.py should obviously go in the tests directory.

openlock.py can go in packages.

Is there a better solution?

I am a bit hesitant to include openlock.py in the root directory of the worker since for ages the worker has been basically three files.

my two cents

• if this is developed completely separate from fishtest and is generic, everything should be in the packages, we don't need to test the package it self, if the package is already tested by the one who supplies this
• if not, what is holding us back from

? I think I asked pasquale some time ago if there were any issues with introducing new files since it would be a nice step in cleaning up some worker code
