Watchdog Python script for Windows file system

Question

I would like to write a small notification script using python watchdog for windows. The script should do - watch a directory and when ever file is created - trigger an exe passing filename as argument.

This says for windows you need "lot of luck!!!" http://packages.python.org/watchdog/installation.html#installation-dependencies How reliable or easy that would be ? Anyone tried such stuff with windows python ..any suggestions ? http://pypi.python.org/pypi/watchdog
