ulif.pynotify – Watch for filesystem changes
Scan filesystems and look for changes.
Basically, a package that provides an API and scripts to scan parts of a filesystem for changes. The changes are returned as Python objects (API) or output on commandline.
While ulif.pynotify itself is pure Python, some extensions (notably the SQLite support) require C extensions.
ulif.pynotify will make use of specialized filesystem watchdogs depending on the OS used, but right now it only contains a simple Python-only implementation.
For this purpose the package provides a library and a script to detect filechanges. For ‘remembering’ file states ulif.pynotify provides SQLite support.
Documentation
The full package documentation can be found at:
Prerequisites
ulif.pynotify is currently tested on Linux only.
you need Python >= 2.4
for full install (includung tests etc.) you also need the Python header files and a working C-compiler like gcc.
Installing the Library
Use easy_install to install the library.
Or download the sources and in the root dir of the extracted package do:
$ python setup.py install
You might need superuser permissions to do that.
Installing for Development
After downloading and extracting the sources, in the root dir of the downloaded file tree do:
$ python bootstrap/bootstrap.py
which will configure the package for your system. Then, run:
$ ./bin/buildout
which will generate all scripts needed for development in the local bin/ directory.
Running Tests
Afterwards you can run the tests by doing:
$ ./bin/test
Creating Docs
ulif.pynotify comes with some documentation in the docs/ folder. It can be turned into Sphinx based HTML by running:
$ ./bin/make-docs
The docs then can be found in docs/_build/html.
Creating Coverage Reports
We try to keep ulif.pynotify at a 100%-test-covered level. You can do the coverage report by issuing on the command line:
$ ./bin/coverage-detect $ ./bin/coveragereport
This will create HTML docs of the test coverage of each module.
