Replace pyinotify with watchdog #20

Closed wang2357 closed 1 month ago

wang2357 commented 1 month ago

Reason: 1) pyinotify works for only Linux; watchdog is cross-platform. 2) pyinotify no longer works with Python 3.12, due to removal of asyncore in 3.12, which is required by pyinotify.

The code using watchdog seems to be slower than pyinotify. With pyinotify, the changes are detected almost instantly. However, with watchdog, there seems to be a few seconds of delay. So the code is perhaps useful only when the alternative of using pyinotify is no longer feasible.

I am closing the pull request, due to unsatisfactory performance of watchdog compared to pyinotify.
