Directory Manager Project

Overview

The Directory Manager Project is a Python extension written in Rust using PyO3. It facilitates efficient interaction with the filesystem, offering capabilities to handle files and directories. The project is cross-platform, compatible with both Unix-like and Windows systems.

Features

• File and Directory Operations: Manage files and directories with functions for reading, writing, moving, and deleting.
• Metadata Retrieval: Fetch file metadata such as last modified time, creation time, size, and read-only status.
• Content Manipulation: Overwrite or append content in files.
• Directory Traversal: Traverse, list, and perform batch operations on directories.
• Custom Python Classes: Includes File, Directory, and DirectoryManager classes, each with specific functionalities.

How to Use (Python)

After installing the Directory Manager, you can use it in Python as follows:

1. Create a Directory Manager Instance:

   from dirman import DirectoryManager
   dm = DirectoryManager('/path/to/directory')
   

2. File Operations:

   • Reading a file:

     file = dm.find_file(name="example.txt")
     content = file.read()
     

   • Writing (overwriting) to a file:

     file.write_over("New content")
     

   • Appending to a file:

     file.concat("Additional content")
     

3. Get Metadata:

   metadata = file.get_metadata()
   print(metadata['last_modified'], metadata['size'])
   

4. Directory Operations:

   • Moving files:

     dm.move_files(name="example.txt",dest_directory_name="another_folder")
     

   • Deleting directories:

     dm.delete_directories(name="old_folder")
