I used the gnome.vfs.monitor_add() method:
fname = self.getServiceLogFullPath(service)
fi = gnome.vfs.get_file_info(fname)
self.position[service] = fi.size - 1
source = gnome.vfs.monitor_add(fname,
gnome.vfs.MONITOR_EVENT_CHANGED, self.addData, service)
then my handler:
def addData(self, monitorPath, infoPath, eventType, service):
fname = self.getServiceLogFullPath(service)
source = open(fname, 'r')
pos = self.position[service]
source.seek(pos, 0) # put the pointer at the right place
data = source.readline()
iter = self.buffer.get_end_iter()
...
There is probably a better way to handle the file position, etc, than
the way I did it.
