-===== Linux or Bash Tips =====
-Useful bash command for finding strings within python files...
-<code bash>
-find . -name \*.py -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep -nI "timeit"
-</code>
-Interesting way to use ''grep -v'' to remove paths from a list generated by ''find''.  Not sure about the escaped ''|'' character, though...
-<code bash>
-#!/bin/bash
-find $PWD -regex ".*\.[hcHC]\(pp\|xx\)?" | \
-    grep -v " \|unwantedpath/unwantedpath2\|unwantedpath3" > cscope.files
-cscope -q -b
-</code>
-And these two have nothing to do with Python.  Here's how to find if a symbol is in a library, and how to search lots of object files and print the filename above the search...
-<code bash>
-nm obj-directory/libmyobject.a | c++filt | grep Initialize_my_obj
-find bindirectory/ -name \*.a -exec nm /dev/null {} \; 2>/dev/null | \
-    c++filt | grep -P "(^bindirectory.*\.a|T Initialize_my_obj)"
-</code>
-Also handy to merge two streams together...
-<code bash>
-( cat file1 && cat file2 ) | sort
-</code>
-When a little quick math is needed, use ''bc''
-<code bash>
-$ bc <<< "obase=16;ibase=10;15"
-F
-$ bc -l <<< 1/3
-.33333333333333333333
-$ bc <<< "scale=2; 1/3"
-.33
-$ bc <<< "obase=10;ibase=16;B"
-</code>
-and, when coverting from hex to dec...
-<code bash>
-echo $((0x2dec))
-</code>
-But, then again, does that really seem easier than,
-<code>
-python -c "print int('B',16)"
-</code>
-There's a bash way to calculate how many days ago a date was:
-<code bash>
-$ echo $(( ($(date +%s) - $(date -d "2012-4-16" +%s)) / 86400 ))
-</code>
-And a Python way...
-<code python>
-python -c "import datetime; print (datetime.date.today() - datetime.date( 2012, 4, 16 )).days"
-</code>
-And for displaying lines to get cut instead of wrapped:
-<code bash>
-cat_one_line_per_row() {
-  cat "$@" | expand | cut -b1-$COLUMNS
-}
-</code>
-ctags's man page says that one of its bugs is that it has too many options.  Ain't that the truth.  Make note of the obscure flag here, ''--c++-kinds=+p'', that tells ctags to process prototypes and method declarations.
-<code bash>
-ctags -n --if0=yes --c++-kinds=+p --langmap=c++:+.inl.lst \
-    --langmap=asm:+.inc --file-tags=yes -R --extra=fq \
-    --exclude=unwanted_file.lst \
-    --exclude='*unwanted-directory*/*' \
-    --regex-C++='/^.*CINIT.(.+),.*,.*,.*/CURLOPT_\1/'
-</code>
-When it's desirable to clip output to exactly the width of the window:
-<code bash>
-alias clip="expand | cut -b1-\$COLUMNS"
-</code>

+====== filelock ======
+Evan Fosmark has a filelock module.  But here's a quick and dirty implementation of a lock that uses the current file:
+<code python>
+import os
+import fcntl
+import inspect
+# Maybe use os.path.abspath(__file__) ?
+with open(os.path.abspath inspect.getfile(inspect.currentframe())), 'r') as f:

+</code>
+====== Fibonacci Generator with Itertools ======
+<code python>
+import itertools
+def fib(n):
+    """Print a Fibonacci series up to n."""
+    a, b = 0, 1
+    while True:
+        yield a
+        b = a + b
+        yield b
+        a = a + b
+if __name__ == '__main__':
+    for x in itertools.islice(fib(), 5):
+        print x
+#    for i in range( 5 ):
+#        print i, fib( i )
