inosync not compatible with shipped python-pyinotify

[Guillermo Pérez]

Binary package hint: inosync

inosync is not compatible with the shipped python-pyinotify library.

It's trying to use EventsCodes.ALL_EVENTS, that doesn't exist anymore:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/inosync", line 217, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/inosync", line 195, in main
    wds = wm.add_watch(config.wpath, EventsCodes.ALL_EVENTS,
AttributeError: type object 'EventsCodes' has no attribute 'ALL_EVENTS'

Even trying to call the compatibility mode of the library ( http://trac.dbzteam.org/pyinotify/pyinotify-api/pyinotify-pysrc.html#compatibility_mode ), it doesn't work, so the change doesn't seem to be straightforward:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/inosync", line 229, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/inosync", line 208, in main
    rec = True, auto_add = True)
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/pyinotify.py", line 1436, in add_watch
    auto_add)
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/pyinotify.py", line 1369, in __add_watch
    mask)

[Ryan Niebur (ryan52)]

this has been fixed in version 0.2-2.

[Wessel (wessel-louwris)]

0.2-2 depends on pyinotify-0.8.9 which is only available in lucid , so after installation of that pyinotify-0.8.9 from source archive I copied it to the ubuntu version of the file

cp /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pyinotify.py /usr/share/pyshared/pyinotify.py

And copied the 0.2-2 version of inosync.py to /usr/bin/inosync

Thanks for your update!
