A pathlib-first library for working with path sequences.
Multi-dimension ranges (e.g. animated udims)
pathlib-first API
Support for UDIM tokens
Getting Started
The following section demonstrates how to install pathseq and some basic usage. Full documentation is available here: https://pathseq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
Installation
pathseq can be installed from PyPI:
pip install pathseq
Usage
For more detailed usage, see the documentation: https://pathseq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
Now, let’s get started:
>>> from pathseq import PathSequence
>>> seq = PathSequence("tests/fixtures/simple/images.1-5####.exr")
>>> for path in seq:
... path
...
PosixPath('tests/fixtures/simple/images.0001.exr')
PosixPath('tests/fixtures/simple/images.0002.exr')
PosixPath('tests/fixtures/simple/images.0003.exr')
PosixPath('tests/fixtures/simple/images.0004.exr')
PosixPath('tests/fixtures/simple/images.0005.exr')
>>> seq = PathSequence("tests/fixtures/simple/images.1-5####.exr")
>>> for path in seq:
... path.touch(exist_ok=True)
...
>>> seq2 = PathSequence("tests/fixtures/simple/images.####.exr")
>>> for path in seq2.iter_existing_paths():
... path
...
PosixPath('tests/fixtures/simple/images.0001.exr')
PosixPath('tests/fixtures/simple/images.0002.exr')
PosixPath('tests/fixtures/simple/images.0003.exr')
PosixPath('tests/fixtures/simple/images.0004.exr')
PosixPath('tests/fixtures/simple/images.0005.exr')
>>> seq = PathSequence("tests/fixtures/simple/images.1-5####.exr")
>>> seq.parent
PosixPath('tests/fixtures/simple')
>>> seq.parent / PathSequence("images.1-5####.exr")
... PathSequence("tests/fixtures/simple/images.1-5####.exr")
>>> anim_udims = PathSequence("/path/to/textures.1011-1012<UDIM>_1-3#.tex")
>>> for path in anim_udims:
... path
...
PosixPath('/path/to/textures.1011_1.tex')
PosixPath('/path/to/textures.1011_2.tex')
PosixPath('/path/to/textures.1011_3.tex')
PosixPath('/path/to/textures.1012_1.tex')
PosixPath('/path/to/textures.1012_2.tex')
PosixPath('/path/to/textures.1012_3.tex')
A wide range of sequence string formats are supported:
>>> from pathseq import LoosePathSequence
>>> seq = LoosePathSequence("/path/to/images.1-5####.exr")
>>> seq = LoosePathSequence("/path/to/1-5####_images.exr")
>>> seq[0]
PosixPath('/path/to/0001_images.exr')
>>> seq.suffixes
('.exr',)
>>> LoosePathSequence("/path/to/1-5####_archives.tar.gz").suffixes
('.tar', '.gz')
>>> seq = LoosePathSequence("/path/to/images.exr.1-5####")
>>> seq[0]
PosixPath('/path/to/images.exr.0001')
>>> seq.suffixes
('.exr',)
>>> LoosePathSequence("/path/to/images.1001-1005<UDIM>.exr")[0]
PosixPath('/path/to/images.1001.exr')
>>> LoosePathSequence("/path/to/images.1001-1005<UVTILE>.exr")[0]
PosixPath('/path/to/images.u1_v1.exr')
