This script watches a directory for file changes and executes a process when a file is modified or added. The process can also be killed if necessary. Additionally, the script can be configured to only watch files with specific extensions and to clear the console before executing the process.
And why this package when nodemon exists? Because I no longer want to install node, npm... just for nodemon on my docker images and I haven't found an alternative in python without dependencies.
pip install nodemon-py-simple
To use this script, use the following command line:
python script.py directory [options] command
The available options are as follows:
-e,--extensions: a list of file extensions to watch, separated by commas-k,--kill: the process name of the process to kill when a file is modified or added-m,--modified-time: update modified time of the file (like modd)-c,--clear: clear the console before executing the command
