Description: pygtail
        =======
        
        A python "port" of [logcheck's logtail2](http://logcheck.org).
        
        Pygtail reads log file lines that have not been read. It will even handle log
        files that have been rotated.
        
        Usage
        -----
        
        From the command line:
        
            Usage: pygtail.py [options] logfile
        
            Print log file lines that have not been read.
        
            Options:
              -h, --help            show this help message and exit
              -o OFFSET_FILE, --offset-file=OFFSET_FILE
                                    File to which offset data is written (default:
                                    <logfile>.offset).
              -p, --paranoid        Update the offset file every time we read a line 
                                    (as opposed to only when we reach the end of the
                                    file).
        
        In your code:
        
            from pygtail import Pygtail
        
            for line in Pygtail("some.log"):
                sys.stdout.write(line)
            
        Notes
        -----
        
        Pygtail does not handle rotated logs that have been compressed. You should
        configure your log rotation script so that the most recently rotated log is
        left uncompressed (`logrotated`, for example, has a `delaycompress` option
        that does just that).
