我有一个日志文件正在写的另一个进程,我想观察变化。每次发生更改时,我都希望将新数据读入并对其进行一些处理。

最好的方法是什么?我希望在PyWin32库中有某种钩子。我找到了win32文件。函数FindNextChangeNotification,但不知道如何要求它监视特定的文件。

如果有人做过类似的事情,我真的很感激能听到…

[编辑]我应该提到我追求的是一种不需要轮询的解决方案。

[编辑]诅咒!这似乎不能在映射的网络驱动器上工作。我猜windows不会像在本地磁盘上那样“听到”任何对文件的更新。

这是对Tim Goldan脚本的另一种修改,它运行在unix类型上,并通过使用dict (file=>time)为文件修改添加了一个简单的监控器。

用法:whatvername .py path_to_dir_to_watch

#!/usr/bin/env python

import os, sys, time

def files_to_timestamp(path):
    files = [os.path.join(path, f) for f in os.listdir(path)]
    return dict ([(f, os.path.getmtime(f)) for f in files])

if __name__ == "__main__":

    path_to_watch = sys.argv[1]
    print('Watching {}..'.format(path_to_watch))

    before = files_to_timestamp(path_to_watch)

    while 1:
        time.sleep (2)
        after = files_to_timestamp(path_to_watch)

        added = [f for f in after.keys() if not f in before.keys()]
        removed = [f for f in before.keys() if not f in after.keys()]
        modified = []

        for f in before.keys():
            if not f in removed:
                if os.path.getmtime(f) != before.get(f):
                    modified.append(f)

        if added: print('Added: {}'.format(', '.join(added)))
        if removed: print('Removed: {}'.format(', '.join(removed)))
        if modified: print('Modified: {}'.format(', '.join(modified)))

        before = after

其他回答

似乎没有人张贴fswatch。它是一个跨平台的文件系统监视器。只要安装它,运行它,并按照提示。

我在python和golang程序中使用过它,它只是工作。

好吧,因为你在使用Python,你可以打开一个文件,并继续从它读取行。

f = open('file.log')

如果读取的行不是空的,则处理它。

line = f.readline()
if line:
    // Do what you want with the line

您可能忽略了在EOF中继续调用readline是可以的。在这种情况下,它会一直返回空字符串。当将某些内容追加到日志文件时,将根据需要从它停止的地方继续读取。

如果您正在寻找使用事件或特定库的解决方案,请在您的问题中指定。否则,我认为这个解决方案就可以了。

在对蒂姆·戈尔登的剧本进行了一些修改后,我有了以下似乎工作得相当不错的内容:

import os

import win32file
import win32con

path_to_watch = "." # look at the current directory
file_to_watch = "test.txt" # look for changes to a file called test.txt

def ProcessNewData( newData ):
    print "Text added: %s"%newData

# Set up the bits we'll need for output
ACTIONS = {
  1 : "Created",
  2 : "Deleted",
  3 : "Updated",
  4 : "Renamed from something",
  5 : "Renamed to something"
}
FILE_LIST_DIRECTORY = 0x0001
hDir = win32file.CreateFile (
  path_to_watch,
  FILE_LIST_DIRECTORY,
  win32con.FILE_SHARE_READ | win32con.FILE_SHARE_WRITE,
  None,
  win32con.OPEN_EXISTING,
  win32con.FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS,
  None
)

# Open the file we're interested in
a = open(file_to_watch, "r")

# Throw away any exising log data
a.read()

# Wait for new data and call ProcessNewData for each new chunk that's written
while 1:
  # Wait for a change to occur
  results = win32file.ReadDirectoryChangesW (
    hDir,
    1024,
    False,
    win32con.FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_LAST_WRITE,
    None,
    None
  )

  # For each change, check to see if it's updating the file we're interested in
  for action, file in results:
    full_filename = os.path.join (path_to_watch, file)
    #print file, ACTIONS.get (action, "Unknown")
    if file == file_to_watch:
        newText = a.read()
        if newText != "":
            ProcessNewData( newText )

它可能需要进行更多的错误检查,但对于简单地观察日志文件并在将其输出到屏幕之前对其进行一些处理,这样做效果很好。

谢谢大家的投入-很棒的东西!

如果您想要一个多平台解决方案,那么请检查QFileSystemWatcher。 下面是一个示例代码(未消毒):

from PyQt4 import QtCore

@QtCore.pyqtSlot(str)
def directory_changed(path):
    print('Directory Changed!!!')

@QtCore.pyqtSlot(str)
def file_changed(path):
    print('File Changed!!!')

fs_watcher = QtCore.QFileSystemWatcher(['/path/to/files_1', '/path/to/files_2', '/path/to/files_3'])

fs_watcher.connect(fs_watcher, QtCore.SIGNAL('directoryChanged(QString)'), directory_changed)
fs_watcher.connect(fs_watcher, QtCore.SIGNAL('fileChanged(QString)'), file_changed)
ACTIONS = {
  1 : "Created",
  2 : "Deleted",
  3 : "Updated",
  4 : "Renamed from something",
  5 : "Renamed to something"
}
FILE_LIST_DIRECTORY = 0x0001

    def __init__(self, threadID, fileName, directory, origin):
        threading.Thread.__init__(self)
        self.threadID = threadID
        self.fileName = fileName
        self.daemon = True
        self.dir = directory
        self.originalFile = origin
    def run(self):
        startMonitor(self.fileName, self.dir, self.originalFile)

def startMonitor(fileMonitoring,dirPath,originalFile):
    hDir = win32file.CreateFile (
        dirPath,
        FILE_LIST_DIRECTORY,
        win32con.FILE_SHARE_READ | win32con.FILE_SHARE_WRITE,
        None,
        win32con.OPEN_EXISTING,

        None
    )
    # Wait for new data and call ProcessNewData for each new chunk that's
    # written
    while 1:
        # Wait for a change to occur
        results = win32file.ReadDirectoryChangesW (
            hDir,

        # interested in
        for action, file_M in results:
            full_filename = os.path.join (dirPath, file_M)
            #print file, ACTIONS.get (action, "Unknown")
            if len(full_filename) == len(fileMonitoring) and action == 3:
                #copy to main file
                ...
