'''
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) '''
