Introduction

trio_inotify is a library intended to be used in applications that make use of the Trio asynchronous I/O library.

Primary Goal

It is the aim of this library to provide flexible and dynamic interactions with the inotify interface.

Current Features

• Watch for changes on a single file or directory path with optional event filtering. Events can be retrieved with Watcher.get_inotify_event().
• Watch for changes recursively on a directory with optional event filtering. Creates a watch list for all current subdirectories of a given directory with WatchManager.add_watch().

Upcoming Features

• Ability to provide a user defined event handler to Watcher.
• Automatically grow and shrink recursive watches as directories are created/deleted.
• Ensure race conditions such as multiple subdirectory trees being created between inotify event and new watch creation are accounted for.
