lock_path

Locks the given accelerator path.

If the accelerator map doesn’t yet contain an entry for accel_path, a new one is created.

Locking an accelerator path prevents its accelerator from being changed during runtime. A locked accelerator path can be unlocked by unlock_path. Refer to change_entry for information about runtime accelerator changes.

If called more than once, accel_path remains locked until unlock_path has been called an equivalent number of times.

Note that locking of individual accelerator paths is independent from locking the AccelGroup containing them. For runtime accelerator changes to be possible, both the accelerator path and its AccelGroup have to be unlocked.

Parameters:

accel_path

a valid accelerator path
