python中文件变化监控-watchd
安装
pip install watchdog
在python中文件监控主要有两个库,一个是pyinotify ( https://github.com/seb-m/pyinotify/wiki ),一个是watchdog(http://pythonhosted.org/watchdog/)。pyinotify依赖于Linux平台的inotify,后者则对不同平台的的事件都进行了封装。因为我主要用于Windows平台,所以下面着重介绍watchdog(推荐大家阅读一下watchdog实现源码,有利于深刻的理解其中的原理)。 watchdog在不同的平台使用不同的方法进行文件检测。在init.py中发现了如下注释:
|Inotify| Linux 2.6.13+ ``inotify(7)`` based observer |FSEvents| Mac OS X FSEvents based observer |Kqueue| Mac OS X and BSD with kqueue(2) ``kqueue(2)`` based observer |WinApi|(ReadDirectoryChangesW) MS Windows Windows API-based observer |Polling| Any fallback implementation
给出示例代码如下:
from watchdog.observers import Observer from watchdog.events import * import time class FileEventHandler(FileSystemEventHandler): def __init__(self): FileSystemEventHandler.__init__(self) def on_moved(self, event): if event.is_directory: print("directory moved from {0} to {1}".format(event.src_path,event.dest_path)) else: print("file moved from {0} to {1}".format(event.src_path,event.dest_path)) def on_created(self, event): if event.is_directory: print("directory created:{0}".format(event.src_path)) else: print("file created:{0}".format(event.src_path)) def on_deleted(self, event): if event.is_directory: print("directory deleted:{0}".format(event.src_path)) else: print("file deleted:{0}".format(event.src_path)) def on_modified(self, event): if event.is_directory: print("directory modified:{0}".format(event.src_path)) else: print("file modified:{0}".format(event.src_path)) if __name__ == "__main__": observer = Observer() event_handler = FileEventHandler() observer.schedule(event_handler,"d:/dcm",True) observer.start() try: while True: time.sleep(1) except KeyboardInterrupt: observer.stop() observer.join()
watchdog主要采用观察者模型(废话,从变量命名就可以看出来)。主要有三个角色:observer,event_handler,被监控的文件夹。三者原本是独立的,主要通过observer.schedule函数将三者串起来,意思为observer不断检测调用平台依赖代码对监控文件夹进行变动检测,当发现改变时,通知event_handler处理。最后特别推荐读者有时间可以阅读一下watchdog的源码,写的易懂而且架构很好。
