Real-time File Change Monitor with Tkinter and Watchdog
Real-time File Change Monitor with Tkinter and Watchdog
Level 3: Real-World
Project Description
This project will monitor changes in a specified directory and display them in real-time using a simple GUI built with Tkinter. You can use this to track modifications like file creation, deletion, or modification in any folder. This could be useful for applications like monitoring log files or watching over a directory during development.
How the Project Works
The program monitors a user-specified directory in real-time. Whenever a file is added, removed, or modified in the directory, a log entry is displayed in a Tkinter GUI. The GUI provides a real-time, scrolling log of all file changes, making it easier to see what is happening in the monitored folder.
Prerequisites
Required Libraries: watchdog, tkinter
Installation: pip install watchdog
Required Files: No files are required for this project.

Danger Zone
Here is the code solution:
import string
text = "Edu3cation is a power123ful tool for improving our under2standing of the uni45verse. !"
vowels = "aeiouAEIOU"
counts = {'vowels': 0, 'consonants': 0, 'numbers': 0, 'punctuation': 0}
for x in text:
if x.isalpha():
if x in vowels:
counts['vowels'] += 1
else:
counts['consonants'] += 1
elif x.isnumeric():
counts['numbers'] += 1
elif x in string.punctuation:
counts['punctuation'] += 1
total = sum(counts.values())
print(f'Total characters: {total}')
print(f"Total count of vowel characters: {counts['vowels']}")
print(f"Total count of consonant characters: {counts['consonants']}")
print(f"Total count of numbers: {counts['numbers']}")
print(f"Total count of punctuation: {counts['punctuation']}")
