inotify: Clarify the use of "watcher" name. Currently, Watcher is a class in inotify.linux.watcher, but it's also a class in inotify.server . To complicate things further more, the latter has a 'watcher' attribute, an instance of the former class. When it comes to the 'watcher' attribute of the Server class in inotify.server, one can get quite confused: is it a Watcher object from inotify.server, or from inotify.linux.watcher? Changes: * in inotify.linux.watcher : nothing * in inotify.server : ** Watcher class is renamed to RepoWatcher ** server.watcher is renamed to server.repowatcher

inotify: inotify.server.walk() filetype is never used, do not yield it

patchbomb: quoted-printable encode overly long lines RfC2822 mandates a line length limit of 998 byte + CRLF. Python mail tools break lines at 990 byte. To prevent that, we quoted-printable encode overly long lines.

Windows: improve performance via buffered I/O The posixfile_nt code hits the win32 file API directly, which essentially amounts to performing a system call for every read and write. This is slow. We add a C extension that lets us use a Python file object instead, but preserve our desired POSIX-like semantics (the ability to rename or delete a file that is being accessed). If the C extension is not available (e.g. in a VPS environment without a compiler), we fall back to the posixfile_nt code.
