All of the work that you're doing is exciting; particularly that it's
work being done on the Python Port.

I think I'll try to work on the inotify support. I'm really interested
in the daemon branch and since the majority of the projects I work on,
sadly, are still in Windows, making it it OS agnostic is vital.

I'll keep an eye on your progress with keen interest.
Keep up the hard work!
