I'm working with watchdog library, and want to send e-mails when a file is saved on a folder.
My problem is that when I save any pdf file on the folder, the module registers 4 modified events, and send four e-mails. Can anyone suggest how can I fix it ?
Here is my code. I used print just to exemplify.
'''
import time
from watchdog.observers import Observer
from watchdog.events import FileSystemEventHandler
class Handler(FileSystemEventHandler):
def on_modified(self, event):
print('Modified')
folder_to_track = 'path'
observer = Observer()
event_handler = Handler()
observer.schedule(event_handler, folder_to_track, recursive=True)
observer.start()
try:
print('Monitoring')
while True:
time.sleep(1)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
observer.stop()
print('Done')
observer.join()
'''
