Below are the function's requirements. I am torn between using the OS module or some other quick and dirty module. In addition, my ideal assumption that this could be cross-platform. "Records" refers to contents in a file. What are some suggestions from the Pythonistas?
* Monitors a folder for files that are dropped throughout the day * When a file is dropped in the folder the program should scan the file o IF all the records in the file have the same length o THEN the file should be moved to a "success" folder and a text file written indicating the total number of records processed o IF the file is empty OR the records are not all of the same length o THEN the file should be moved to a "failure" folder and a text file written indicating the cause for failure (for example: Empty file or line 100 was not the same length as the rest). -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
