Python Bindings for efsw

How to build

1. mkdir build && cd build
2. cmake ..
3. make pyefsw

Go to the build directory and find the shared library file starting with pyefsw

Basic Python Example

import pyefsw
from time import sleep

class UpdateListener(pyefsw.FileWatchListener):
    #Called whenever a change in the watched directory occurs
	def handleFileAction(self, watchID, directory, filename, action, oldFilename):
		if action == pyefsw.Action.Add:
			print(f"{filename} was added to {directory}")

fileWatcher = pyefsw.FileWatcher(useGenericFileWatcher=False)
listener = UpdateListener()
watchID1 = fileWatcher.addWatch("/tmp", listener, recursive=False) # Track only changes to top-level of /tmp.
fileWatcher.watch() # Watch for changes

# Keep python thread alive
try:
	while(True):
		sleep(2) # sleep for 2 seconds
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    fileWatcher.removeWatch(watchID1)
