看看pyinotify。

Inotify在新的linux中取代了dnotify(从以前的答案)，并允许文件级而不是目录级监控。

我会尝试这样的方法。

    try:
            f = open(filePath)
    except IOError:
            print "No such file: %s" % filePath
            raw_input("Press Enter to close window")
    try:
            lines = f.readlines()
            while True:
                    line = f.readline()
                    try:
                            if not line:
                                    time.sleep(1)
                            else:
                                    functionThatAnalisesTheLine(line)
                    except Exception, e:
                            # handle the exception somehow (for example, log the trace) and raise the same exception again
                            raw_input("Press Enter to close window")
                            raise e
    finally:
            f.close()

循环检查自上次读取文件以来是否有新的行——如果有，则将其读取并传递给functionThatAnalisesTheLine函数。如果不是，脚本等待1秒并重试该进程。

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)

如果您正在使用窗口，请创建此POLL。CMD文件

@echo off
:top
xcopy /m /y %1 %2 | find /v "File(s) copied"
timeout /T 1 > nul
goto :top

然后您可以输入“poll dir1 dir2”，它将从dir1复制所有文件到dir2，并每秒检查一次更新。

“find”是可选的，只是为了减少控制台的噪音。

这不是递归的。也许你可以在xcopy中使用/e使它成为递归。

最简单的解决方案是在间隔之后获取同一个文件的两个实例并进行比较。你可以试试这样的东西

    while True:
        # Capturing the two instances models.py after certain interval of time
        print("Looking for changes in " + app_name.capitalize() + " models.py\nPress 'CTRL + C' to stop the program")
        with open(app_name.capitalize() + '/filename', 'r+') as app_models_file:
            filename_content = app_models_file.read()
        time.sleep(5)
        with open(app_name.capitalize() + '/filename', 'r+') as app_models_file_1:
            filename_content_1 = app_models_file_1.read()
        # Comparing models.py after certain interval of time
        if filename_content == filename_content_1:
            pass
        else:
            print("You made a change in " + app_name.capitalize() + " filename.\n")
            cmd = str(input("Do something with the file?(y/n):"))
            if cmd == 'y':
                # Do Something
            elif cmd == 'n':
                # pass or do something
            else:
                print("Invalid input")
