Package: python-inotifyx (0.2.0-1)

[ Source: inotifyx  ]

simple Python binding to the Linux inotify

inotifyx is a Python extension providing access to the Linux inotify file system event notification API. It is primarily written in C but has some Python window dressing

inotifyx exists as an alternative to the much known pyinotify bindings

Reasons you might choose inotifyx over pyinotify

 * inotifyx is a C extension and does not use ctypes, making it
   faster and less prone to subtle breakage due to changes in the inotify API
 * inotifyx is a much thinner wrapper around inotify. pyinotify is more
   complicated. It does provide features that inotifyx does not, but many of
   them are not needed by most applications
 * The API provided by pyinotify seems to change in incompatible ways on a
   fairly regular basis and with little justification. inotifyx has a simple
   API that will change rarely, if ever.
