import os
import pyinotify
wm = pyinotify.WatchManager()
notifier = pyinotify.Notifier(wm)
### Method 1:
# Exclude patterns from file
excl_file = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), 'exclude.lst')
excl = pyinotify.ExcludeFilter(excl_file)
# Add watches
res = wm.add_watch(['/etc/hostname', '/etc/cups', '/etc/rc0.d'],
pyinotify.ALL_EVENTS, rec=True, exclude_filter=excl)
### Method 2 (Equivalent)
# Exclude patterns from list
excl_lst = ['^/etc/apache[2]?/',
'^/etc/rc.*',
'^/etc/hostname',
'^/etc/hosts',
'^/etc/(fs|m)tab',
'^/etc/cron\..*']
excl = pyinotify.ExcludeFilter(excl_lst)
# Add watches
res = wm.add_watch(['/etc/hostname', '/etc/cups', '/etc/rc0.d'],
pyinotify.ALL_EVENTS, rec=True, exclude_filter=excl)
#notifier.loop()
