Comment 6 for bug 1740111

pyinotify hasn't been updated for 9 years https://github.com/seb-m/pyinotify
inotify hasn't been updated for 4 years https://github.com/dsoprea/PyInotify

So I doublt replacing pyinotify by inotify can be benefitial here, because we just pull another debt.

Probably it makes better sense to deprecate the feature, because no one has argued the broken feature for very long time.
