Detect file creation or deletion under given path using python and kqueue on FreeBSD

Question

Given /certain/path/ on a FreeBSD system, I would like python to use kqueue to detect if any files are created or deleted anywhere under that path.

How would I do this?

Accordint to Python's documentation, kqueue/kevent are already supported (only on BSD, of course) "out of the box"...

You can try the watchdog package which in turn uses kqueue on BSD (and inotify on Linux, etc.)
