Class Hierarchy

logging.Filterer: A base class for loggers and handlers which allows them to share common code.
- logging.Logger: Instances of the Logger class represent a single logging channel.
  - pyinotify.PyinotifyLogger: Pyinotify logger used for logging unicode strings.
logging.LogRecord: A LogRecord instance represents an event being logged.
- pyinotify.UnicodeLogRecord
asyncore.dispatcher
- asyncore.file_dispatcher
  - pyinotify.AsyncNotifier: This notifier inherits from asyncore.file_dispatcher in order to be able to use pyinotify along with the asyncore framework.
object: The most base type
- exceptions.BaseException: Common base class for all exceptions
  - exceptions.Exception: Common base class for all non-exit exceptions.
    - pyinotify.PyinotifyError: Indicates exceptions raised by a Pyinotify class.
      - pyinotify.NotifierError: Notifier Exception.
      - pyinotify.ProcessEventError: ProcessEventError Exception.
      - pyinotify.UnsupportedLibcVersionError: Raised on unsupported libc versions.
      - pyinotify.UnsupportedPythonVersionError: Raised on unsupported Python versions.
    - pyinotify.WatchManagerError: WatchManager Exception.
- pyinotify.Color: Internal class.
- pyinotify.EventsCodes: Set of codes corresponding to each kind of events.
- pyinotify.ExcludeFilter: ExcludeFilter is an exclusion filter.
- pyinotify.Notifier: Read notifications, process events.
  - pyinotify.AsyncNotifier: This notifier inherits from asyncore.file_dispatcher in order to be able to use pyinotify along with the asyncore framework.
  - pyinotify.ThreadedNotifier: This notifier inherits from threading.Thread for instanciating a separate thread, and also inherits from Notifier, because it is a threaded notifier.
- pyinotify.SysCtlINotify: Access (read, write) inotify's variables through sysctl.
- pyinotify.Watch: Represent a watch, i.e.
- pyinotify.WatchManager: Provide operations for watching files and directories.
- pyinotify._Event: Event structure, represent events raised by the system.
  - pyinotify.Event: This class contains all the useful informations about the observed event.
  - pyinotify._RawEvent: Raw event, it contains only the informations provided by the system.
- pyinotify._ProcessEvent: Abstract processing event class.
  - pyinotify.ProcessEvent: Process events objects, can be specialized via subclassing, thus its behavior can be overriden:
    - pyinotify.ChainIfTrue: Makes conditional chaining depending on the result of the nested processing instance.
    - pyinotify.PrintAllEvents: Dummy class used to print events strings representations.
    - pyinotify.Stats: Compute and display trivial statistics about processed events.
  - pyinotify._SysProcessEvent: There is three kind of processing according to each event:
- threading._Verbose
  - threading.Thread
    - pyinotify.ThreadedNotifier: This notifier inherits from threading.Thread for instanciating a separate thread, and also inherits from Notifier, because it is a threaded notifier.
