  • Resolves an issue causing an OSError in the case of a blocking read.

1.3.0

17 Feb 16:38

  • Switch to using inotify_init1() and add inheritable and nonblocking keyword arguments to INotify, which control the IN_CLOEXEC and IN_NONBLOCK bits of the flags passed to inotify_init1(). Default to inheritable=False, which is in line with the Python standard library's behaviour for all file descriptors it opens.
  • Make the delay argument passed to INotify.read() only delay reading if there were no events to read initially, rather than unconditionally. An unconditional delay can rate limit a program that is struggling to keep up with events, which is undesirable.
  • INotify() now subclasses io.FileIO, which simplifies things a bit - INotify.close() for example is inherited rather than implemented in the INotify() class. INotify.fd is now just an alias for the inherited INotify.fileno().
  • Restructure module layout to a single .py file instead of a package
  • Code simplifications.

This release is backwards compatible with previous releases.

INotify() class is now more file-like. .close() is idempotent, and it has a .fileno() method enabling it to be used directly with select.select() and similar functions.
