Hey guys. I'm trying to work up a little program that will send any new lines written to a file (log file from my home automation software) to me via instant message. I've gotten the instant message sending part figured out using xmpppy.
I've done a few things with Python in the past but I am in no means more than a beginner/hacker. Can someone tell me what commands/ modules/etc exist for monitoring and parsing a file for new information that I can then send to my IM sending function? I am not asking for anyone to write the code but merely a push in the right direction. Thanks! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
