It is implemented in C and does not need Python and pyinotify. The author
of inosync gives the following statement at [1]:

"inosync is similar to lsyncd, but uses a lot less (nasty) magic to
parse rsync excludes and shared www directories. Additionally inosync
has no limitation on filename size and number of active watchpoints."

It seems like inosync is more powerful but lsyncd may be better suited
for systems with small disk space.
