Sorry i didnm't look too closely but i think you should only need to
keep the file open andd then loop around with a delay.
Sometjing like:
try:
f = open('foo.txt')
for line in f:
print line
time.sleep(1)
finally:
f.close()
That will keep reading the lines until it hits the end of the file.
Of course if the file is eventually empty then it exits so you
may want a while True loop instead and only print if the line is non
empty
In that case you need to figure out how to stop the loop - maybe
Ctrl-C
is good enough.
