Use of watchdog

Just thought watchdog may be of use, Its Cross platform using native API's for directory watching, It would remove the current "check every x seconds" for watched directories.

http://packages.python.org/watchdog/
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/watchdog/0.6.0

It uses the following

Linux 2.6 (inotify)

Mac OS X (FSEvents, kqueue)

FreeBSD/BSD (kqueue)

Windows (ReadDirectoryChangesW with I/O completion ports; ReadDirectoryChangesW worker threads)

and falls back to the OS independent poll filesystem every x seconds.

Not an urgent request, Just maybe an idea for future versions
