How to check in python that a file in a folder has changed?

问题

I need to know in python whenever a new file was added/removed/modified in a particular directory Is there a way for that? I'm looking for an "inofity"-like function (from POSIX).

Thanks

回答1:

Use inotify-tools (In the original version, I mentioned pyinotify, but it had issues, and now is deprecated and not recommended).

回答2:

You can use inotify for python, which is NOT the same as PyInotify (older).

As mentioned in the similar question, you might want to have a look at http://packages.python.org/watchdog/ which also works on Windows.
