I need to know in python whenever a new file was added/removed/modified in a particular directory Is there a way for that? I'm looking for an "inofity"-like function (from POSIX).
Thanks

We have to import os, sys, hashlib libraries. Then script iterates over the files and calls FindDuplicate() function to find duplicates.
Click on the “Select Files or Folders” tab in the far left, to start a new comparison. Each comparison you run opens in a new tab. To start a new comparison, click on the “Select Files or Folders” tab in the far left, change the targets and click “Compare” again.
Python supports a module called filecmp with a method filecmp. cmpfiles() that returns three list containing matched files, mismatched files and errors regarding those files which could not be compared. It is similar to first approach but it is used to compare files in two different directories.
First of all call iterdir ( ) method to get all the files and directories from the specified path. Then start a loop and get all files using is_file ( ) method. is_file ( ) return True if the path points to a regular file, False if it points to another kind of file. Then print all the files. Now its time to check its output.
os.path.isfile () method in Python is used to check whether the specified path is an existing regular file or not. Note: os.path.isfile () does follow symlinks. path: A path-like object representing a file system path. A path-like object is either a string or bytes object representing a path.
Steps to get the Latest File in a Folder using Python Step 1: Capture the Path where the files are stored. To begin, capture the path where your files are currently stored. For example, the following files are stored in a ‘Test’ folder: C:UsersRonDesktopTest.
Run the code in Python, and you’ll see the following Graphical User Interface (GUI): Type the path of the folder/directory, and the file type: Click on the ‘Import File’ button and you’ll get:
You can use inotify for python, which is NOT the same as PyInotify (older).
