## Supported Platforms

* OSX and Linux.
* Python 2.7

Probably works with other versions as well.

## Quickstart

Install:
```bash
pip install Zookeeper-Watcher
```

Example:
```python
from zookeeper_watcher import ZookeeperWatcher

#instantiate the watcher object by passing it the Zookeeper server address and a optional logger.
watcher = ZookeperWatcher('zookeeper_host:port') #can receive also a custom logger by adding logger=some_logger.

#start the async connection with the Zookeeper server
watcher.start()

#decorate a function that will be triggered once at runtime and on every detected event
@watcher.Watch('/zookeeper/path/to/the/node/that/we/want/to/watch')
def test_function(children, data):
"""decorated function that receives a list of children nodes of the given path
and a list of data objects (dictionaries) that are read from each child node"""
print "list of children nodes", children
print "list of data objects", data

```
