# python-pyinotify
Pyinotify is a pure Python module used for monitoring filesystems events.
Pyinotify relies on inotify, a Linux Kernel functionality (starting with kernel version 2.6.13).
inotify is an event-driven notification mechanism, its notifications are exported to user space through three system calls.
Pyinotify binds these system calls and provides an implementation on top of them.
