python实现tail -f命令功能

'''
Python-Tail - Unix tail follow implementation in Python.

python-tail can be used to monitor changes to a file.

Example:
    import tail

    # Create a tail instance
    t = tail.Tail('file-to-be-followed')

    # Register a callback function to be called when a new line is found in the followed file.
    # If no callback function is registerd, new lines would be printed to standard out.
    t.register_callback(callback_function)

    # Follow the file with 5 seconds as sleep time between iterations.
    # If sleep time is not provided 1 second is used as the default time.
    t.follow(s=5) '''
