Watchdog

Python API to monitor file system events.

Example Usage:

Supported Platforms:

  • Linux (inotify)
  • Mac OS X (FSEevnts, kqueue)
  • FreeBSD/BSD (kqueue)
  • Windows (ReadDirectoryChangesW with I/O completion ports; ReadDirectoryChangesW worker threads)
  • OS-independent (polling the disk for directory snapshots and comparing them periodically; slow and not recommended)

Dependencies:

  1. pywin32 (only on Windows)
  2. pyinotify (only on Linux)
  3. XCode or gcc (only on Mac OS X)
  4. PyYAML
  5. argh
