Ruby watchr equivalent in Python?

Question

I like the concept of watchr : it tracks the file system and triggers a callback when something changes. Is there a pure Python equivalent? Preferably to establish a protocol.

Answer 1

You should probably watch a watchdog timer:

Answer 2

For Windows there, the watcher is probably close to what you need, although I'm not sure if it provides 100% equivalent information.
