Seems like an opportunity for an enterprising coder ...

    Develop a Python module that provides file/directory
    change notification, in a reasonably operating system
    independent way, that is coded (in O.S. specific ways)
    to work on most any system, including the fall back to
    polling, if need be.  Should work with at least Windows
    and Linux fam.
