cwd, listing = htmllistparse.fetch_listing(some_url, timeout=30)

• name: File name, str. Have a trailing / if it’s a directory.

• modified: Last modification time, time.struct_time or None. Timezone is not known.

• size: File size, int or None. May be estimated from the prefix, such as “K”, “M”.

• description: File description, file type, or any other things found. str as HTML, or None.

Supports:

• Vanilla Apache/nginx/lighttpd/darkhttpd autoindex

• Most <pre>-style index

• Many other <table>-style index

Note

Please wrap the functions in a general try... except block. It may throw exceptions unexpectedly.
