[Bug 499023] [NEW] inosync not compatible with shipped python-pyinotify

[Guillermo Pérez]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: inosync

inosync is not compatible with the shipped python-pyinotify library.

It's trying to use EventsCodes.ALL_EVENTS, that doesn't exist anymore:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/inosync", line 217, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/inosync", line 195, in main
    wds = wm.add_watch(config.wpath, EventsCodes.ALL_EVENTS,
AttributeError: type object 'EventsCodes' has no attribute 'ALL_EVENTS'

Even trying to call the compatibility mode of the library ( http://trac.dbzteam.org/pyinotify/pyinotify-api/pyinotify-pysrc.html#compatibility_mode ), it doesn't work, so the change doesn't seem to be straightforward:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/inosync", line 229, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/inosync", line 208, in main
    rec = True, auto_add = True)
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/pyinotify.py", line 1436, in add_watch
    auto_add)
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/pyinotify.py", line 1369, in __add_watch
    mask)
ctypes.ArgumentError: argument 3: <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: Don't know how to convert parameter 3
