Getting notified of newly created files on mac os?

Is there a way I can write a mac os app that gets notified when there's a new file of a certain file type (lets say a .jpg file) created somewhere on the system?



Does finder maybe have some mechanics in place that gets notified about new files that I can pull from?



The thing I want to achieve is an app that whenever the user creates a file of a certain file type asks the user if she wants to upload it or share it etc.



Also interested if, and if so, how it's possible to achieve this in Windows.

                    Dulmage-Mendelsohn matrix decomposition in Python

                    Image
                    0 Matlab has a function called dmperm that computes the so-called Dulmage–Mendelsohn decomposition of a n x n matrix. From wikipedia, the Dulmage–Mendelsohn is a partition of the vertices of a bipartite graph into subsets, with the property that two adjacent vertices belong to the same subset if and only if they are paired with each other in a perfect matching of the graph. Looking both on scipy and numpy, I could not find this function, nor some similar version. Is it possible to implement it using basic linear algebra operations? Any idea if this is implemented in some Python package? python matlab linear-algebra graph-theory matrix-decomposition share | improve this question
