Dec 3, 2015 at 22:32 comment added jpmc26 For the record, this is probably a good thing. .lock files generally indicate that something is in use. You don't want to delete something in use by an application. You want to stop using it first. (I consider it a weakness of the GDB format that you could go delete other files that belong to it while this one is locked.) Also, don't use distutils for file management; that's for creating distribution packages for Python code.
