"""
A file monitor and module reloader.
Major part of the code is taken directly from the original "paste.reloader" module. I just created this stripped down version for one of my projects and wanted to share if anyone else is interested.
**all credits goes to original authors @ Paste **
http://pythonpaste.org/modules/reloader.html
Use this like:
..code-block:: Python
import pyreload
pyreload.install(verbose=True, poll_interval=1)
Now this will watch for any changes in the files and will reload the corresponding module automatically, so there is no need to restart the python server.

比较合适和常见的处理方法,是另外做一个daemon,定时去轮询文件,比如检查文件的修改时间,md5值等,一旦发现文件被修改,就重新用subprocess模块调用下这个文件,大多数python做热部署的代码都是这么搞的。
举个例子

flask里面也有类似的file reloader机制 可以参考 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16344756/auto-reloading-python-flask-app-upon-code-changes
tornado也有这样地机制,具体可以看tornado源码,使用上比如:
