Python monitors file changes under Windows

It is convenient to use Python to monitor file system changes under Windows. The example code is as follows, very simple, not much to say.

Import Osimport Win32fileimport win32conactions = {1: "Created", 2: "Deleted", 3: "Updated", 4: "Renamed from som Ething ", 5:" Renamed to something "}file_list_directory = Win32con. Generic_read | Win32con. Generic_writepath_to_watch = "." Hdir = Win32file. CreateFile (Path_to_watch, File_list_directory, Win32con. File_share_read | Win32con. File_share_write, None, Win32con. Open_existing, Win32con. File_flag_backup_semantics, None) if __name__ = = ' __main__ ': Print ("123") while 1:print ("321") result s = win32file. READDIRECTORYCHANGESW (Hdir, #handle: Handle to the directory of Be Monito Red.                                               This directory must is opened with the File_list_directory access right.                                               1024x768, #size: Size of the buffer to allocate for the results. True, #bWatchSubtree: Specifies whether the READDIRECTORYCHANGESW function would monitor the directOry or the directory tree. Win32con.                                                File_notify_change_file_name | Win32con.                                                File_notify_change_dir_name | Win32con.
