Someone mentioned that the necessary APIs are already exposed via some
Python library or other.  PyObjC, maybe?

I'd strongly suggest looking at implementing this as a refactoring of
the existing inotify extension to make it more portable, rather than as
something completely new.  There's plenty of notionally common code that
should not need to be suplicated.
