monty.os.path module
Path based methods, e.g., which, zpath, etc.
monty.os.path.find_exts(top, exts, exclude_dirs=None, include_dirs=None, match_mode=’basename’)
Find all files with the extension listed in exts that are located within the directory tree rooted at top (including top itself, but excluding ‘.’ and ‘..’)
- Parameters
- top (str) – Root directory
- exts (str* or list of *strings) – List of extensions.
- exclude_dirs (str) – Wildcards used to exclude particular directories. Can be concatenated via |
- include_dirs (str) – Wildcards used to select particular directories. include_dirs and exclude_dirs are mutually exclusive
- match_mode (str) – “basename” if match should be done on the basename. “abspath” for absolute path.
- Returns Absolute paths of the files.
- Return type (list of str)
Examples:
# Find all pdf and ps files starting from the current directory.
find_exts(".", ("pdf", "ps"))
# Find all pdf files, exclude hidden directories and dirs whose name
# starts with `_`
find_exts(".", "pdf", exclude_dirs="_*|.*")
# Find all ps files, in the directories whose basename starts with
# output.
find_exts(".", "ps", include_dirs="output*"))
monty.os.path.zpath(filename)
Returns an existing (zipped or unzipped) file path given the unzipped version. If no path exists, returns the filename unmodified.
- Parameters filename – filename without zip extension
- Returns filename with a zip extension (unless an unzipped version exists). If filename is not found, the same filename is returned unchanged.
