One of the ways to import data within DDSC is via SFTP. Once a new file has been uploaded, it needs to be processed and stored immediately. The inotify cron system is used to watch directories and run Python code (see notify.py) after every file upload.
To build ddsc-incron successfully, Python headers files need to be present. On Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install python-dev
If all is well and git is present, ddsc-incron should now build smoothly:
git clone git@github.com:ddsc/ddsc-incron.git cd ddsc-incron python bootstrap.py bin/buildout
