Sets up an inotify watch on /tmp, prints create and delete events.

import asyncio import os from aionotify import Inotify, Flags async def main(): inotify = Inotify() inotify.watch(path='/tmp', flags=Flags.CREATE | Flags.DELETE) await inotify.setup() while True: events = await inotify.get_events() for event in events: print(event) asyncio.run(main())

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedaionotify is effectively in maintenance mode; no releases since 2020. Consider inotify replacement for projects requiring ongoing support.

fix

Migrate to inotify (https://pypi.org/project/inotify/) or use pyinotify with asyncio wrappers.

affects: >=0.2.0

gotchaaionotify requires Linux (inotify is Linux-specific). Importing on other platforms will raise ImportError.

fix

Guard imports with sys.platform check or use conditional dependency.

affects: all

gotchaThe library uses byte paths internally; event.alias may be bytes, not str.

fix

Decode event.name (and related fields) explicitly: event.name.decode('utf-8') if needed.

affects: all
