import sys
import time
import watchdog
from watchdog.observers import Observer
from watchdog.events import PatternMatchingEventHandler
import time
from threading import Thread

class MyHandler(PatternMatchingEventHandler):

    def process(self, event):
        print("I am being processed")

    def on_modified(self, event):
        print("file modified " + event.src_path)
        self.process(event)

    def on_created(self, event):
        print("file created" + event.src_path)
        self.process(event)

    def on_moved(self, event):
        print("file moved" + event.src_path)
        self.process(event)

    def on_deleted(self, event):
        print("file deleted" + event.src_path)
        self.process(event)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    args = sys.argv[1:]  
    observer = Observer()
    observer.schedule(MyHandler(), path=args[0] if args else '.')
    print "Start"
    observer.start()

    try:
        while True:
            time.sleep(1)
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        observer.stop()

    observer.join()
