**watchdog_gevent** is a [gevent]-based observer for [watchdog].

## Requirements

* [gevent] 1.1+

* [watchdog] 0.8+

## Setup

    pip install watchdog_gevent

## Usage

Just import and use its observer:

``` python

from watchdog_gevent import Observer

```

This will automatically import the best observer for the current

platform, preferring a [gevent]-based observer if gevent is installed

and the `threading` module has been monkeypatched.  This library

*only* works if the threading module has been monkeypatched.

## Limitations

The package only works if you use gevent to monkeypatch the threading

module.  Additionally, file and directory move events are not emitted.
