Monitoring files with twisted

Is it possible to write a Twisted application 开发者_Go百科to monitor addtion of new files/folders to a specific folder? If yes, could someone point me to some code/link trying to do it, or give an idea how to do that?

On Linux, you can have inotify with nice Twisted integration.

Hopefully someday there will be something similar for Windows and perhaps *BSD (based on kqueue), but for now Twisted only ships with support for this on Linux.

You do not need twisted, but of course you can integrate it. Basically you need yo use inotify.

Take a look at https://github.com/seb-m/pyinotify
