Watchfiles: Simple, modern and fast file watching for Python, written in Rust
- Zaloog 1y agoAwesome library, I use it in ayu (https://github.com/Zaloog/ayu https://github.com/Zaloog/ayu) to watch for changes in test files, to automatically rerun those tests.
- alkh 1y agoThere is also watchexec[1]. I like the fact that is it shipped as a sinle binary, so it's pretty easy to distribute [1]https://github.com/watchexec/watchexec https://github.com/watchexec/watchexec
- nodesocket 1y agoThanks for posting watchexec. Exactly what I needed for my gunicorn +gevent app. gevent does not support the --reload gunicorn flag.
- spease 1y agoThere are some big caveats to this approach. Note “Known Problems” for the library. Particularly, you need to use a polling backend for network / VM filesystems. I didn’t see any notes for the Python library and the fact that notify is still telling you this makes me suspect it will just fail to work in those cases. https://docs.rs/notify/latest/notify https://docs.rs/notify/latest/notify
