Script to test watchdog

watchit.py

"""
Testing watchdog (mostly for OSX)

* Create a directory into your virtual environment, like "taiste";
* Go into this directory;
* Put this script into this directory;
* Run it with: python watchit.py
* Add files, edit files, remove files;
* See the logs if events are showed for changes you do previously on your files;
* Exit from the script when you are done using CTRL+C (or CMD+C on OSX);

    observer.schedule(event_handler, path, recursive=True)
    observer.start()
    try:
        while True:
            time.sleep(1)
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        observer.stop()
    observer.join()
    

it works for me , watchdog make the job
