This is a brand new LiveReload in version 2.0.0.
Python LiveReload is designed for web developers who know Python.
Install Python LiveReload with pip:
$ pip install livereload
If you don't have pip installed, try easy_install:
$ easy_install livereload
The new livereload server is designed for developers. It can power a wsgi application now:
from livereload import Server, shell server = Server(wsgi_app) # run a shell command server.watch('static/*.stylus', 'make static') # run a function def alert(): print('foo') server.watch('foo.txt', alert) # output stdout into a file server.watch('style.less', shell('lessc style.less', output='style.css')) server.serve()
The Server
class accepts parameters:
- app: a wsgi application
- watcher: a watcher instance, you don't have to create one
server.watch
can watch a filepath, a directory and a glob pattern:
server.watch('path/to/file.txt') server.watch('directory/path/') server.watch('glob/*.pattern')
You can also use other library (for example: formic) for more powerful file adding:
for filepath in formic.FileSet(include="**.css"): server.watch(filepath, 'make css')
