Comment:
I've just rounded out some issues in django-watchfiles, so I now consider
it pretty stable: https://adamj.eu/tech/2025/09/22/introducing-django-
watchfiles/ .
This can serve as a base for merging the feature into Django core.
It's worth noting that correct support of globbing currently relies on
Python 3.13+, through `pathlib.Path.full_match()`. I didn't deem it
feasible to backport that function for old Pythons. Since Django's current
in-development version, 6.1, targets Python 3.12+, that will need figuring
out - perhaps making the watchfiles reloader only work on Python 3.13+ ?
