pyinotify can not watch current dir

Question

I put a script using pyinotify under my home dir (/home/name) and run it. While I can not make the script watch my home dir (/home/name) or dirs that contain my home dir, like root (/) and /home/. All other dirs are OK, like /var, /boot, /home/name/Documents.

Let me describe it in a clean way:

dirs that are NOT OK:
/
/home
/home/name (script is here)

All other dirs are OK, e.g.
/bin
/var
/home/name/Documents

Script:

import pyinotify

class MyEventHandler(pyinotify.ProcessEvent):
    def process_IN_ACCESS(self, event):
        print "ACCESS event:", event.pathname

    def process_IN_ATTRIB(self, event):
        print "ATTRIB event:", event.pathname

    def process_IN_CLOSE_NOWRITE(self, event):
        print "CLOSE_NOWRITE event:", event.pathname

    def process_IN_CLOSE_WRITE(self, event):
        print "CLOSE_WRITE event:", event.pathname

    def process_IN_CREATE(self, event):
        print "CREATE event:", event.pathname

    def process_IN_DELETE(self, event):
        print "DELETE event:", event.pathname

    def process_IN_MODIFY(self, event):
        print "MODIFY event:", event.pathname

    def process_IN_OPEN(self, event):
        print "OPEN event:", event.pathname

def main():
    # watch manager
    wm = pyinotify.WatchManager()
    wm.add_watch('/var/log', pyinotify.ALL_EVENTS, rec=True)

    # event handler
    eh = MyEventHandler()

    # notifier
    notifier = pyinotify.Notifier(wm, eh)
    notifier.loop()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Think you need to specify a watch to your home dir.

wm.add_watch('/home', pyinotify.ALL_EVENTS, rec=True)
