Python path module
22nd January 2003
The path Python module (via The Daily Python-URL) is a nice looking wrapper class for Python’s oft-confusing os.path
module. Check out this neat code comparison:
# with os.path.walk def delete_backups(arg, dirname, names): for name in names: if name.endswith('~'): os.remove(os.path.join(dirname, name)) os.path.walk(os.environ['HOME'], delete_backups, None) # with os.path, if (like me) you can never remember how os.path.walk works def walk_tree_delete_backups(dir): for name in os.listdir(dir): path = os.path.join(dir, name) if os.path.isdir(path): walk_tree_delete_backups(path) elif name.endswith('~'): os.remove(path) walk_tree_delete_backups(os.environ['HOME']) # with path dir = path(os.environ['HOME']) for f in dir.walk(): if f.isfile() and f.endswith('~'): os.remove(f)
I’d go for the third one any day.
