tail -f in python with no time.sleep

by

(update)
Either use FS monitors tools

Or a single sleep usage (which I would you consider as much more elegant).

import time
def follow(thefile):
    thefile.seek(0,2)      # Go to the end of the file
    while True:
         line = thefile.readline()
         if not line:
             time.sleep(0.1)    # Sleep briefly
             continue
         yield line

logfile = open("access-log")
loglines = follow(logfile)
for line in loglines:
    print line
