monitor a folder for file creation, how?

[fanbanlo]

How do I monitor a folder for new file(s) creation?
How to use thread to do a wait until a new file is 'detected'?

Thank you!

os.rename works with unicode, you're getting this error because
question marks are not allowed in file names on Windows.
  Serge.

The filename is supposed to be in Chinese, on NTFS (WinXP).  However, 
when i print it, they are all '???', and that caused os.rename() to break.

How to force os.walk to return a list of unicode filename?

best XSLT processor?

[fanbanlo]

Which XSLT processor is the most reliable?
requirement:
+ must support Python 2.4
+ must run w/ Windows (and Linux)
+ not super slow
My python project needs a XSLT processor + Docbook's XSLT to translate 
from docbook-xml -> HTML.

PyXML? is it reliable? Slow?
4Suite? some said it is buggy (lots of work arounds)?
Others ???
Thx!

What seems to be the matter?

pygdchart 0.6.1 for Windows Python 2.4 available?

[fanbanlo]

Does any one has pygdchart compiled for Windows Python 2.4?? (.pyc file?)
http://www.nullcube.com/software/pygdchart.html only has binary for 
Windows Python 2.3 and older... :(

I tried following the instructions for compiling w/ Mingw from the 
README, but... in step2, i have no idea how to do this:

2. Make a Python import library (adjust for your setup and version of 
Python):
impdef c:/windows/system32/python24.dll >python.def
dlltool --dllname python24.dll --input-def python.def 
--output-lib libpython24.a

what/where's impdef!?
Thank you very much
