title: python filelock module deleting files
body: <p>I have downloaded the <a href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/filelock/" rel="nofollow">filelock</a> module in order to lock files using my python program.
  this is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import filelock
  lock = filelock.FileLock(path)
  lock.acquire()
  #do something...
  lock.release()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>for some reason I don't understand when I release the lock the file is deleted.
  Does anyone know how to deal with this? How can I keep the file available also after the lock is released?
  if it is relevant, my file is kept on a separate hard drive.
  thank you.</p>
