Assorted filesystem related utility functions, some of which have been bloating cs.fileutils for too long.

Latest release 20220805: Doc update.

Function atomic_directory(*da, **dkw)

Decorator for a function which fills in a directory which calls the function against a temporary directory then renames the temporary to the target name on completion.

Parameters:

• infill_func: the function to fill in the target directory
• make_placeholder: optional flag, default False: if true an empty directory will be make at the target name and after completion it will be removed and the completed directory renamed to the target name

Function fnmatchdir(dirpath, fnglob)

Return a list of the names in dirpath matching the glob fnglob.

Class FSPathBasedSingleton(cs.obj.SingletonMixin, HasFSPath)

The basis for a SingletonMixin based on realpath(self.fspath).

Class HasFSPath

An object with a .fspath attribute representing a filesystem location.

Function is_clean_subpath(subpath: str)

Test that subpath is clean:

• not empty or '.' or '..'
• not an absolute path
• normalised
• does not walk up out of its parent directory

Examples:

>>> is_clean_subpath('')
False
>>> is_clean_subpath('.')

Function longpath(path, environ=None, prefixes=None)

Return path with prefixes and environment variables substituted. The converse of shortpath().

Function needdir(dirpath, mode=511, *, use_makedirs=False)

Create the directory dirpath if missing.

Parameters:

• dirpath: the required directory path
• mode: the permissions mode, default 0o777
• use_makedirs: optional creation mode, default False; if true, use os.makedirs, otherwise os.mkdir

Function rpaths(dirpath='.', *, only_suffixes=None, skip_suffixes=None, sort_paths=False)

Yield relative file paths from a directory.

Parameters:

• dirpath: optional top directory, default '.'
• only_suffixes: optional iterable of suffixes of interest; if provided only files ending in these suffixes will be yielded
• skip_suffixes: optional iterable if suffixes to ignore; if provided files ending in these suffixes will not be yielded
• sort_paths: optional flag specifying that filenames should be sorted, default False

Function shortpath(path, environ=None, prefixes=None)

Return path with the first matching leading prefix replaced.

Parameters:

• environ: environment mapping if not os.environ
• prefixes: iterable of (prefix,subst) to consider for replacement; each prefix is subject to environment variable substitution before consideration The default considers "$HOME/" for replacement by "~/".
