ctypes.ArgumentError when tutorial_threadednotifier.py is run though seems to function normally
I was just going through the tutorials in this useful package.

Python 3.4.3
When I run python3 tutorial_threadednotifier.py I get the following even though it seems to function in terms of watching the /tmp directory:
Traceback (most recent call last):

As a workaround, surround wd.values with list(): wm.rm_watch(list(wdd.values())). It seems like an issue with pyinotify's understanding that .items() is actually a list in Python3
