Ruby's watchr equivalent in Python?

Question

I like the concept of watchr: it monitor the file system and run a callback when something changes. Is there a pure Python equivalent? Preferably pip installable.

Answer 1

You should probably look at watchdog:

Answer 2

For Windows, there's watcher, that is probably close to what you need although I'm not sure it provides 100% equivalent information.
