mjooln
Environmentally Friendly File Handling
mjooln is a small, dependency-free Python toolbox for file and folder
handling. Two ideas make it more than a pathlib wrapper:
Atom— a identifier that is unique, sortable, human-readable, and can be found inside arbitrary text just by scanning for its shape.Store— a folder with a persistent identity, so you can find it by name from anywhere on disk without remembering its path.
Install
pip install mjooln
Optional extras:
pip install mjooln[encryption] # AES file encryption
pip install mjooln[yaml] # YAML read/write for File
Quickstart
Atom: identifiers that sort, search, and read like sentences
from mjooln import Atom
a = Atom("sensor")
str(a)
# '20260722T191721u217069Z___sensor___39A238F6_83FE_40DB_BDA5_FABDE915016A'
a.way # 'sensor'
a.time # datetime(2026, 7, 22, 19, 17, 21, ..., tzinfo=timezone.utc)
Atoms sort chronologically as plain strings, and can be found inside arbitrary text -- handy for scanning file names:
Atom.find_one(f"my_file_{a}.json.gz") # == a
Store: a folder you can find by name, from anywhere
from mjooln import Store
store = Store.make("~/projects/my_data")
store.file("readme.txt").write("hello")
# ... later, from anywhere, without knowing the path:
same_store = Store.get("my_data")
[f.name for f in same_store.list()]
# ['readme.txt']
Store is a subclass of Folder, so it behaves like one -- list(),
file(), walk(), etc. all work directly on it.
Folder and File: everyday file handling
from mjooln import Folder
fo = Folder("~/projects/my_data")
fi = fo.file("data.json")
fi.write_json({"hello": "world"})
fi.read_json()
# {'hello': 'world'}
fi = fi.compress() # data.json.gz
fi.checksum() # sha256 hex digest
