notify on directory changes

[Josh]

Hi,
Does python have a way of registering a callback - or through some other
mechanism - to notify me when a directory listing has changed, or if a file
has been modified, deleted, created, etc.? I'm looking for behavior similar
to the .net class FileSystemWatcher. I would also be interested to know if
there exists a portable c or c++ solution, too.
thanks!
Josh

Not one, but three ways:

The only portable way I can think of is the first: polling the
directory contents at intervals.
