Well, code like this would break:
def wait_for_change(filename, delay=.1):
stamp = os.stat(filename).st_mtime
while 1:
time.sleep(delay)
if os.stat(filename).st_mtime != stamp: break
Hm ...
>>> import statcache
/usr/lib/python2.3/statcache.py:8: DeprecationWarning: The statcache module is obsolete. Use os.stat() instead.
