Add python2.5 as a dependency. Signed-off-by: Gora Khargosh <gora.khargosh@gmail.com>
Python API and shell utilities to monitor file system events.
A simple program that uses watchdog to monitor directories specified as command-line arguments and logs events generated.
import sys
import time
from watchdog import Observer
from watchdog.events import FileSystemEventHandler
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
class MyEventHandler(FileSystemEventHandler):
def catch_all_handler(self, event):
logging.debug(event)
def on_moved(self, event):
self.catch_all_handler(event)
def on_created(self, event):
self.catch_all_handler(event)
def on_deleted(self, event):
self.catch_all_handler(event)
def on_modified(self, event):
self.catch_all_handler(event)
event_handler = MyEventHandler()
observer = Observer()
observer.schedule('a-unique-name', event_handler, sys.argv[1:], recursive=True)
observer.start()
try:
while True:
time.sleep(1)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
observer.unschedule('a-unique-name')
observer.stop()
observer.join()
Watchdog comes with a utility script called watchmedo. Please type watchmedo --help at the shell prompt to know more about this tool.
Here is how you can log the current directory recursively for events related only to *.py and *.txt files while ignoring all directory events:
watchmedo log --patterns="*.py;*.txt" --ignore-directories --recursive .
