python中文件变化监控-watchdog

在python中文件监控主要有两个库,一个是pyinotify ( https://github.com/seb-m/pyinotify/wiki ),一个是watchdog(http://pythonhosted.org/watchdog/)。pyinotify依赖于Linux平台的inotify,后者则对不同平台的的事件都进行了封装。因为我主要用于Windows平台,所以下面着重介绍watchdog(推荐大家阅读一下watchdog实现源码,有利于深刻的理解其中的原理)。
watchdog在不同的平台使用不同的方法进行文件检测。在init.py中发现了如下注释:

|Inotify|                             Linux 2.6.13+                    ``inotify(7)`` based observer
|FSEvents|                            Mac OS X                         FSEvents based observer
|Kqueue|                              Mac OS X and BSD with kqueue(2)  ``kqueue(2)`` based observer
|WinApi|(ReadDirectoryChangesW)       MS Windows                       Windows API-based observer
|Polling|                             Any                              fallback implementation

给出示例代码如下:

from watchdog.observers import Observer
from watchdog.events import *
import time

class FileEventHandler(FileSystemEventHandler):
    def __init__(self):
        FileSystemEventHandler.__init__(self)

    def on_moved(self, event):
        if event.is_directory:
            print("directory moved from {0} to {1}".format(event.src_path,event.dest_path))
        else:
            print("file moved from {0} to {1}".format(event.src_path,event.dest_path))

    def on_created(self, event):
        if event.is_directory:
            print("directory created:{0}".format(event.src_path))
        else:
            print("file created:{0}".format(event.src_path))

    def on_deleted(self, event):
        if event.is_directory:
            print("directory deleted:{0}".format(event.src_path))
        else:
            print("file deleted:{0}".format(event.src_path))

    def on_modified(self, event):
        if event.is_directory:
            print("directory modified:{0}".format(event.src_path))
        else:
            print("file modified:{0}".format(event.src_path))

if __name__ == "__main__":
    observer = Observer()
    event_handler = FileEventHandler()
    observer.schedule(event_handler,"d:/dcm",True)
    observer.start()
    try:
        while True:
            time.sleep(1)
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        observer.stop()
    observer.join()

watchdog主要采用观察者模型(废话,从变量命名就可以看出来)。主要有三个角色:observer,event_handler,被监控的文件夹。三者原本是独立的,主要通过observer.schedule函数将三者串起来,意思为observer不断检测调用平台依赖代码对监控文件夹进行变动检测,当发现改变时,通知event_handler处理。最后特别推荐读者有时间可以阅读一下watchdog的源码,写的易懂而且架构很好。
