问题 Is there any way to print a watched file modification ? let's take an example: I'm monitoring file.txt, Pyinotify can tell me that it has been modified, but It can't seem to be able to output what changes occured ? Am I wrong ? How can I see what changes has been made to a file that I'm monitoring ? Big thanks in advance, sorry for my bad english. 回答1: The inotify mechanism does not embed the deltas in the event, because it should compute it before saving the files and this could affect

python中文件变化监控-watchdog

起步 在python中文件监控主要有两个库,一个是 pyinotify ,一个是 watchdog 。pyinotify依赖于Linux平台的inotify,后者则对不同平台的的事件都进行了封装。因为我主要用于Windows平台,所以下面着重介绍watchdog(推荐大家阅读一下watchdog实现源码,有利于深刻的理解其中的原理)。 watchdog在不同的平台使用不同的方法进行文件检测。在init.py中发现了如下注释: |Inotify| Linux 2.6.13+ ``inotify(7)`` based observer |FSEvents| Mac OS X FSEvents based observer |Kqueue| Mac OS X and BSD with kqueue(2) ``kqueue(2)`` based observer |WinApi|(ReadDirectoryChangesW) MS Windows Windows API-based observer |Polling| Any fallback implementation 给出示例代码如下: #!/usr/bin/env python # -*- coding:utf-8 -*- # Created by victor # 本模块的功能:<检测文件夹变化> #

问题 I am experiencing the following situation: pyinotify monitors a file for IN_CLOSE_WRITE events I change something in the file and save it the event is triggered I read the file and see that it has no changes Having tinkered with this a little bit, I noticed that it works fine when I am debugging. I set a breakpoint on the line that reads the file, thus adding a little delay. After that - the file is read and the changes are there. So, it seems that adding a time.sleep(1) , or delaying

python pyinotify to monitor the specified suffix files in a dir

问题 I want to monitor a dir , and the dir has sub dirs and in subdir there are somes files with .md . (maybe there are some other files, such as *.swp...) I only want to monitor the .md files, I have read the doc, and there is only a ExcludeFilter , and in the issue : https://github.com/seb-m/pyinotify/issues/31 says, only dir can be filter but not files. Now what I do is to filter in process_* functions to check the event.name by fnmatch . So if I only want to monitor the specified suffix files,

Using pyinotify to watch for file creation, but waiting for it to be completely written to disk

隐身守侯 提交于 2019-11-29 19:19:59
问题 I'm using pyinotify to watch a folder for when files are created in it. And when certain files are created I want to move them. The problem is that as soon as the file is created (obviously), my program tries to move it, even before it's completely written to disk. Is there a way to make pyinotify wait until a file is completely written to disk before notifying me that it's been created? Or is there any easy way to, after I'm notified, make python wait to move it until it's done being written
