> Is there a way to write "folder actions" for MacOS X in Python?
In fact it seems there is more than one way to use kqueue from Python, which is more efficient than Finder Folder Actions. First, there is effectively a Python module PyKQueue. The current version is 1.4, available from http://ox.eicat.ca/~dgilbert/files/PyKQueue.html. The version available at http://fink.sourceforge.net/pdb/package.php/pykqueue-py23 is the old 1.3. Second, there is Stakeout, an ObjC program, available from http://michael-mccracken.net/blog/blosxom.pl/computers/mac/programming/meetWatch.html And finally, the development of a kqueuereactor is now foreseen for twisted. :-) There are also kernel modules available for Linux which provide similar functionality. BTW: It seems that the MacOS X Finder still polls the filesystem instead of using kqueue - Ouch.
