This package provides a way to delay opening files until the something is written to the file handle. This can be convenient when opening a large number of files of which most of them will not be frequently used. To deal with resource limits a queue is used from which, when full, the least frequent file is closed.
Installation
The software is distributed via PyPI, it can be installed with pip:
pip install jit_open
From source
The source is hosted on GitHub, to install the latest development version, use the following commands.
git clone https://git.lumc.nl/j.f.j.laros/jit-open cd jit_open pip install .
Usage
In the following example, only the file used.txt is created.
>>> from jit_open import Handle, Queue
>>>
>>> queue = Queue()
>>> used = Handle("used.txt", queue)
>>> unused = Handle("unused.txt", queue)
>>>
>>> used.write("line 1\n")
>>> used.write("line 2\n")Library
The library provides the Handle and Queue classes.
