I need to know in python whenever a new file was added/removed/modified in a particular directory Is there a way for that? I'm looking for an "inofity"-like function (from POSIX).
Thanks

I had an answer to this, but it kept being downvoted, no matter it's been 7 years ago. So, whatever, I deleted it. – culebrón Jan 24 '20 at 16:19

You can use inotify for python, which is NOT the same as PyInotify (older).

As mentioned in the similar question, you might want to have a look at http://packages.python.org/watchdog/ which also works on Windows.
