Tail a continuously growing file (like tail -f filename) Jason Morriss python

This is my version of a "File Tail" class for Python3 (will not work on Python2 w/o a couple of modifications). My original inspiration came from the perl File::Tail module.

Transparently handles files that get rotated or truncated.

  • Does not take 100% CPU.
  • Does not take up much memory.
  • Is capable of handling any size log file.
  • Not tested on Windows

Example:

from filetail import FileTail
tail = FileTail("/var/log/syslog")
for line in tail:
    print(line, end="")
