Fast File Count: Recursively count files and directories very quickly

Project description

This is a Python package to quickly count the number of files and directories in a given path. Optionally you can count recursively and include hidden files in the total.

This package is a wrapper around fast-file-count by Christopher Schultz. All credit belongs to Christopher Schultz, I only wrote the Python wrapper and packaged it up. See the file src/c_count.c for the other contributors and see the commit history of this package on GitHub for my exact changes.

Installation

Installation can be done easily with pip:

pip install ffcount

Usage

The package ffcount has only one function: ffcount. It can be used as follows:

>>> from ffcount import ffcount

# count everything under the current path
>>> ffcount()
(521013, 43012)

# count without hidden files
>>> ffcount(hidden=False)
(234012, 12082)

# use a different path
>>> ffcount('/tmp')
(81, 10)

License

The original C code by Christopher Schultz was licensed under the Apache License 2.0. This package is therefore licensed under this license as well.
