verified Jun 28, 2026

The `pid` library (current version 3.0.4) provides robust pidfile management capabilities, including stale detection and file-locking. It can be used as a context manager or a decorator to ensure only one instance of a process is running, and to handle cleanup of the pidfile on termination. It's a stable library with a focus on reliable process control.
