Yinotify 0.2.14

Based on pyinotfy, simplify the module by removing unused class and add new useful function to implement the callback

Overview

Yinotify help user to create the callback function triggered when the monitor event detected by the linux Kernel. User could register the directoried for the watching and bing with the Event with the specified action. Internal Class Yivent could help to collect the statistics and status based on the events registered. That polling one or more directories to determine if anything has changed is the linux kernel interface, which help us control more from application level

the project based on inotify, and removed some unused function and class

Installing

Install via pip:

$ sudo pip install Yinotify

Example

Simple Usage:

exp1:
    def printEvent():
        print("Action triggered!!")

    yiSample = Yinotify.fEvent(_target_folder,"IN_ISDIR",printEvent)

exp2:
    def printEvent(arg):
        print("Action triggered!!",arg)

    yiSample = Yinotify.fEvent(_target_folder,"IN_ISDIR",printEvent,action_args=("arg1",))

Unit Test

Pytest Example:

def printEvent(timeSlot,case):
    global result
    duration = time.time() - timeSlot
    print("%s:::Action1 triggered!!"%(duration))
    result[case] = True
    return

def printEvent2(case):
    global result
    print("Action2 triggered!!")
    result[case] = True
    return

def printEvent3():
    global result
    print("Action3 triggered!!")
    result["test_events_IN_MOVED"] = True
    return
