Python watchdog module duplicate events (edit: was not an watchdog issue) - python-3.x

Question

I am creating a python script that will identify changes to a log file and print some data from the new logs.
I use watchdog to create an event handler and everything seems to work fine except from that, I get duplicate events every time I modify the file. I checked creation and delete, they both work as expected and trigger one time.
I have read the similar question which explains having a created and a modified event when I save a file but this is not my case. I just get two modification events.
Here is my code:
import os, sys, time
import subprocess
import threading
import win32print
from tkinter import filedialog
from tkinter import *
from watchdog.observers import Observer
from watchdog.events import FileSystemEventHandler
class Handler(FileSystemEventHandler):
# docstring for FileSystemEventHandler
def __init__(self, observer, filename, dirname):
# super(Handler, FileSystemEventHandler).__init__(self,)
self.observer = observer
self.filename = filename
self.dirname = dirname
print("Handler filename = " , self.filename)
print("Handler dirname = " , self.dirname)
def on_modified(self, event):
if self.filename == event.src_path:
print("The file was modified")
print (event.src_path)
# go get the last line and print the data
# try:
# hJob = win32print.StartDocPrinter (hPrinter, 1, ("test of raw data", None, "RAW"))
# try:
# win32print.StartPagePrinter (hPrinter)
# win32print.WritePrinter (hPrinter, raw_data)
# win32print.EndPagePrinter (hPrinter)
# finally:
# win32print.EndDocPrinter (hPrinter)
# finally:
# win32print.ClosePrinter (hPrinter)
def on_created(self, event):
print("A file was created (", event.src_path, ")")
def on_deleted(self, event):
print("A file was deleted (", event.src_path, ")")
if __name__ == "__main__":
Flags=2
Name=None
Level=1
printers = win32print.EnumPrinters(Flags, Name, Level)
print("\nChoose a printer to use:")
i=1
for p in printers:
print(i,')' , p[2])
i = i+1
if sys.version_info >= (3,):
raw_data = bytes ("This is a test", "utf-8")
else:
raw_data = "This is a test"
printer = int(input())
printer_name = printers[printer-1][2] #win32print.GetDefaultPrinter ()
print("You chose ", printer_name, "\nI will now print from the specified file with this printer")
hPrinter = win32print.OpenPrinter (printer_name)
# root = Tk()
# root.filename = filedialog.askopenfilename(initialdir = "/Desktop",title = "Select file",filetypes = (("log files","*.log"),("all files","*.*")))
file_path = "some_file_path" # root.filename
file_directory = os.path.dirname(file_path)
# print (file_path)
print (file_directory)
observer = Observer()
event_handler = Handler(observer, file_path, file_directory)
observer.schedule(event_handler, path=file_directory, recursive=False)
observer.start()
observer.join()
any ideas would be appreciated
EDIT:
After some debugging I found out that Windows10 is changing the file modification time twice every time I save it.
The proof of concept code is this:
prev_modification_time = os.path.getmtime(file_path)
while True:
current_mod_time = os.path.getmtime(file_path)
if prev_modification_time != current_mod_time :
print ("the file was modified, last modification time is: ", current_mod_time)
prev_modification_time = current_mod_time
pass
Final edit:
After testing my code on linux (Debian Stretch to be exact) it worked like a charm. So this combined with the previous edit probably shows that watchdog works fine and it is windows10 that has some issue. Should I post it on a different question or here?
