Developing Directory Tree

To install directory_tree, along with the tools you need to develop and run tests, and execute the following in your virtualenv:

$ pip install -e .[dev]

Security & Bugs

• Directory Tree uses recursion. It will raise a RecursionError on really deep directory trees.
• As the tree is lazily evaluated, it should behave well on really wide directory trees. Immediate children of a given directory are not lazily evaluated, though. It would be prompted to the last.
• Currently Directory Tree doesn't support the functionality of ignoring files/directories in a particular path, so will print every files-directories present in the given path.
• If you're a Windows user, it is always advised to use \\ instead of \ in the address as using \ might catchup escape sequences and corrupt the address string.
