Fred,

I don't see pydaemonize.inotify in the master branch. I see it in the commit log and at tree 567cd23ab2. Would you mind pushing it to the master branch? The readme looks old too - no mention of inotify.

Actually, there was a change in the primary API from function based (a port of my earlier Haskell library) to class based (to be more Pythonic). The inotify daemon didn't get translated. Here's the code for it, if you want to translate it:

""" pydaemonize/inotify.py - Generic inotify daemon. """
