No fancy bells +and whistles, just a literal wrapper with ctypes. Only ~100 lines of +code! + +inotify_init1() is wrapped as a file-like object, INotify(), holding the +inotify file descriptor. INotify().read() reads available data from the +file descriptor and returns events as namedtuple objects after unpacking +them with the struct module. inotify_add_watch() and inotify_rm_watch() +are wrapped with no changes at all, taking and returning watch +descriptor integers that calling code is expected to keep track of +itself, just as one would use inotify from C. |
