"""Python-Tail - Unix tail follow implementation in Python.
python-tail can be used to monitor changes to a file.
Example
-------
>>> import tail
>>>
>>> # Create a tail instance
>>> t = tail.Tail('file-to-be-followed')
>>>
>>> # Register a callback function to be called when a new line is found in the followed file.
>>> # If no callback function is registerd, new lines would be printed to standard out.
>>> t.register_callback(callback_function)
>>>
>>> # Follow the file with 5 seconds as sleep time between iterations.
>>> # If sleep time is not provided 1 second is used as the default time.
>>> t.follow(s=5)
