"auto" command on windows

[schettino72]

File system events are working on windows too, but needs the platform specific
module pywin32, which is well supported and PSF licensed.
Here are some examples using it:

Can you explain me, how FileModifyWatcher (especially loop()) works, so I can
try to implement and test on windows?

please take a look at http://schettino72.wordpress.com/2010/03/07/inotify-text-editors-emacs-vim/

the "loop" method just keep waiting for file changes (and call "handle_event") until a keyboard interrupt occurs.

I guess for Windows it would be pretty much like the last example from timgolden...

Any further question please fell free to contact me.
