Package: python3-pyinotify
Version: 0.9.6-1.3
Severity: serious

Hello,

thank you for maintaining python3-pyinotify.

Looking at https://github.com/dsoprea/PyInotify it says:

   This project is unrelated to the *PyInotify* project that existed
   prior to this one (this project began in 2015). That project is
   defunct and no longer available.

and indeed, https://github.com/seb-m/pyinotify which is listed as
upstream of python3-pyinotify seems to be stuck in 2015.

To the best that I could see, https://github.com/dsoprea/PyInotify is
not packaged in Debian.

If I understand correctly, the only way to access inotify functionality
in Python with libraries in Debian at the moment is via the old
pyinotify, and at least gunicorn is requiring the newer one for
inotify-based reloading to work:

   https://docs.gunicorn.org/en/stable/settings.html#reload
   "In order to use the inotify reloader, you must have the inotify
   package installed."

I guess my next step could be filing an RFP for
https://github.com/dsoprea/PyInotify ?
