     Good to learn that you have found a solution. But let me insist on 
the fact that your daemon would be neater if it was one single process. 
python-inotify is not an application; it is a thin and a thick binding 
of inotify for Python and is available in Debian. It would make your 
daemon better at the sole cost of a package-dependency on 
python-inotify, which, I think, is worth.

Python module :-)
