The FileCycle is a Python library designed to manage file rotation in a specified directory.
Project description
FileCycle: Python File Rotation Manager
FileCycle is a Python library designed to manage file rotation in a specified directory. It automatically organizes files into dated folders and applies a retention policy to remove old files. This ensures that you keep only the data you need for a specified period.
Key Features:
-
Automated File Rotation: Automatically moves files into dated folders based on the current date.
-
Retention Policy: Cleans up old files based on a user-defined retention period, specified in days.
-
Customizable Working Directory: Allows you to set the working directory where the file rotation and retention will occur.
-
Version Listing: Provides a method to list all available versions (dated folders) in the working directory.
This library is particularly useful for applications that generate time-sensitive data files that need to be retained for a specific period.
Installation
Copy the FileCycle
class into your project.
