fcntl and siginfo_t in python

Developing on a machine with a 2.6.5 kernel, which unfortunately, is not
blessed with inotify and we do not have FAM. I was wondering if there are
pre-built extensions ( a few google searches turned up fruitless) that
utilize fcntl properly and allow for siginfo_t struct support when
attempting to monitor directories/files?

If there aren't any, I'll see if it's feasible to add this functionality as
a py extension. Maybe this would be easier to do in ctypes first? Then
again, ctypes wasn't introduced until 2.5+. Suggestions or hints are
appreciated.

Thanks,
Mahmoud
