Changelog

0.0.12 (????-??-??)

switched to underscores in project name

0.0.11 (2024-09-13)

using shutil.move instead of os.rename to work across file-system boundaries

0.0.10 (2021-03-18)

added the output_num_files boolean property to the Poller class, which extends the logging output by outputting a x/y string as well (x=current file index, y=total number of files in a batch)

0.0.9 (2021-01-05)

the Poller.logging property no longer returns the check_file method

0.0.8 (2020-12-11)

fixed high CPU usage (ie constant polling) when using unlimited files to list (max_files=0)
poll_wait and watchdog_check_interval are now float instead of int to allow for sub-second poll waits
internal delays when poller is busy have been dropped from 1s to 0.1s

0.0.7 (2020-12-10)

keyboard_interrupt method is now public

0.0.6 (2020-12-10)

fixed race condition between watchdog reacting to new files and watchdog checking for files at specific intervals
logging now distinguishes between DEBUG/INFO/ERROR levels
keyboard interrupts via CTRL+C are now handled correctly
in watchdog mode, an initial scan of the input directory is now performed, in case files were already present

0.0.5 (2020-12-10)

added params object to allow attaching of arbitrary parameters to be used by the check_file and process_file methods; this avoids accidentally overriding Poller attributes that were introduced in later versions.

0.0.4 (2020-12-10)

added support for using watchdog for reacting to file creation events, speeding up polling

0.0.3 (2020-12-04)

poll method now skips directories, which could be listed if no extensions are supplied to restrict the polling.

0.0.2 (2020-12-03)

added other_input_files glob list and delete_other_input_files to manage additional files that may reside in the input directory along side the actual files that are being processed.

0.0.1 (2020-12-02)

initial release
