File Operations

Simple python API for performing directory and file-based operations.

Installation

You can install the file_operations library with the following command:

pip install file_operations==1.0.5

Then import into your program as:

import file_operations

def main():
    data = "aabaaba"
    src_file = "hello.src"
    dest_file = "hello.dest"

    file_operations.write_file(src_file, data, mode='w')
    file_operations.copy_file(src_file, dest_file)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

API Architecture

The following discusses the available methods in this library:

read_bytes(src_file, offset, limit)

copy_file(src_file, dest_file)
write_file(dest_file, data, mode ='w', overwrite = False)
move_file(src_file, dest_file)
remove_file(src_file)

create_dir(dest_dir)
copy_dir(src_dir, dest_dir, overwrite = False)
move_dir(src_dir, dest_dir)
remove_dir(dest_dir)

buffered_reader(file_name, buffer_size, mode ='rb'):
buffered_reader.has_next()
buffered_reader.read()
buffered_reader.close()

The _file methods require both src_file and dest_file to be formatted as path/file_name.extension. Note the buffered_reader is a class which is used for reading a large file in chunks, the size of each chunk is buffer_size. If an operation is successfully applied, then the function returns True and False otherwise.
