A pluggable app providing a thin django wrapper around pyinotify

This project provides a django pluggable app (inotifier) which aims to make the use of pyinotify in a django project as easy as possible. Pyinotify monitors files or directories for certain events and allows custom processing when those events occur. The inotifier app provides management commands to start and stop the pyinotify daemon, which can be configured with a single required setting.

Users specify a path to monitor, a set of events to watch for, and a class to process those events when they occur. Some sample event processor classes are included, including ones that send django signals (also defined in this app), which other apps can connect to. Event processor classes should conform to the style directed by the pyinotify project.

Users can also define their own event processor classes which can do anything. For instance, instead of sending django signals when certain events occur, the event processor could add tasks to a queue or send a request to a web service. In this case, the only benefit gained by using this app is the use of the management commands which are provided for starting and stopping the pyinotify daemon.

Note: Because inotify is a linux opearting system feature, pyinotify and this project are only useable and useful on systems running linux.
