利用seek監控文件內容，並打印出變化內容：
#/usr/bin/env python
#-*- coding=utf-8 -*-
pos = 0
while True:
con = open("a.txt")
if pos != 0:
con.seek(pos,0)
while True:
line = con.readline()
if line.strip():
print line.strip()
pos = pos + len(line)
if not line.strip():
break
con.close()利用工具pyinotify監控文件內容變化，當文件逐漸變大時，可輕鬆完成任務：
#!/usr/bin/env python
#-*- coding=utf-8 -*-
import os
import datetime
import pyinotify
import logging
pos = 0
def printlog():
global pos
try:
fd = open("log/a.txt")
if pos != 0:
fd.seek(pos,0)
while True:
line = fd.readline()
if line.strip():
print line.strip()
pos = pos + len(line)
if not line.strip():
break
fd.close()
except Exception,e:
print str(e)
class MyEventHandler(pyinotify.ProcessEvent):
def process_IN_MODIFY(self,event):
try:
printlog()
except Exception,e:
print str(e)
def main():
printlog()
wm = pyinotify.WatchManager()
wm.add_watch("log/a.txt",pyinotify.ALL_EVENTS,rec=True)
eh = MyEventHandler()
notifier = pyinotify.Notifier(wm,eh)
notifier.loop()
if __name__ == "__main__":
