Python script to reset Orthanc to reload Lua scripts when scripts are modified

autoreload.py

import sys
import time
import logging
import requests
from watchdog.observers import Observer
from watchdog.events import FileSystemEventHandler

ORTHANC_HOST = "http://localhost:8042"
ORTHANC_RESET_URL = ORTHANC_HOST + "/tools/reset"
# Set user/pass if basic authentication is enabled
USER = ""
PASS = ""


class FileReloaderEvent(FileSystemEventHandler):
    """Handler for modified file events that triggers Orthanc to restart."""

    def on_modified(self, event):
        logging.info(event.src_path + " was modified. Restarting Orthanc...")
        if (USER and PASS):
            requests.post(ORTHANC_RESET_URL, auth=(USER, PASS))
        else:
            requests.post(ORTHANC_RESET_URL)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO,
                        format='%(asctime)s - %(message)s',
                        datefmt='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
    path = sys.argv[1] if len(sys.argv) > 1 else '.'
    event_handler = FileReloaderEvent()
    observer = Observer()
    observer.schedule(event_handler, path, recursive=False)
    observer.start()
    try:
        while True:
            time.sleep(1)
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        observer.stop()
    observer.join()

Notes:
This script works great with Python 2. There is an issue with Python 3 and Watchdog where multiple requests are issued per file modification (only tested on Windows) - See: gorakhargosh/watchdog#346.

Requirements:

• Requests
• Watchdog
