all the above libraries and stackoverflow.com/questions/182197/… are for monitoring file changes. But I do not find any event to monitor file close.

Ofcourse there are such events. Pynotify for example implements the close_write, close_nowrite and close events, which do exactly what you want. On Windows, Watcher implements IN_CLOSE_WRITE and IN_CLOSE_NOWRITE to detect such events.

can you please elaborate Watcher, or its documentation link

I'm sorry, I don't have access to windows at this time, or I would try it myself. The documentation is quite short, but it shows that you should create an watcher.Watcher object and set its flags property to a desired event.
