Pathlab¶
Pathlab provides an object-oriented path interface to archives, images, remote filesystems, etc. It is built upon pathlib and includes built-in support for:
tararchivesziparchivesisodisc images (inc Rock Ridge; exc Joliet and UDF)- JFrog Artifactory (via
requests)
You can also define your own Path subclass with its own accessor.
Usage¶
These usage examples are adapted from the pathlib documentation.
Getting a path type:
>>> from pathlab import TarAccessor
>>> TarPath = TarAccessor('project.tgz').TarPath
Listing subdirectories:
>>> root = TarPath('/')
>>> [x for x in root.iterdir() if x.is_dir()]
[TarAccessor('project.tgz').TarPath('/docs')
TarAccessor('project.tgz').TarPath('/etc'),
TarAccessor('project.tgz').TarPath('/project')]
Listing Python source files in this directory tree:
>>> list(root.glob('**/*.py'))
[TarAccessor('project.tgz').TarPath('/setup.py'),
TarAccessor('project.tgz').TarPath('/docs/conf.py'),
TarAccessor('project.tgz').TarPath('/project/__init__.py')]
Navigating inside a directory tree:
>>> p = TarPath('/etc')
>>> q = p / 'init.d' / 'reboot'
>>> q
TarAccessor('project.tgz').TarPath('/etc/init.d/reboot')
>>> q.resolve()
TarAccessor('project.tgz').TarPath('/etc/rc.d/init.d/halt')
Querying path properties:
>>> q.exists()
True
>>> q.is_dir()
False
Opening a file:
>>> with q.open() as f: f.readline()
...
'#!/bin/bash\n'
