It uses the +`hupper <http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/hupper/en/latest/>` package +to enable this behavior. When your code crashes, ``hupper`` will wait for +another change or the ``SIGHUP`` signal before restarting again. + +inotify support +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +By default, ``hupper`` will poll the filesystem for changes to all python +code. This can be pretty inefficient in larger projects. To be nicer to your +hard drive, you should install the +`watchdog <http://pythonhosted.org/watchdog/>` package in development. +``hupper`` will automatically use ``watchdog`` to more efficiently poll the +filesystem. |
