pycociC - A Python library for removing pycache and numba cache files

Installation

pip install pycociC

Usage

python -B -m pycociC [-t DIRS [DIRS ...]] [-h]

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -t DIRS [DIRS ...], -d DIRS [DIRS ...], --dirs DIRS [DIRS ...]
                        Directories to search for pycache files (default: (everywhere))

Coding

# pycociC/__init__.py
__all__ = ('FP_RE', 'bytes_to_pretty_view', 'eat_cache', 'dont_write_bytecode')
FP_RE = re.compile(r'.*\.py([co]|.*\.nb[ci])', re.I)


def eat_cache(at_dirs: Iterable[AnyStr, os.PathLike[AnyStr]] = ('.',)):
    """Function removes files matching the regular expression (see FP_RE) from all "__pycache__" folders recursively."""
    ...


def bytes_to_pretty_view(bytes_size: int = 0) -> str:
    """
    Converts the number of bytes into a pretty SI prefix.

    >>> bytes_to_pretty_view(0)
    '0B'
    >>> bytes_to_pretty_view(1_000_000_24)
    '100MB 24B'
    >>> bytes_to_pretty_view(0xFF_FF_FF_FF)
    '4GB 294MB 967kB 295B'
    """
    ...

Example Output

python -m pycociC -d .

WARNING:root:pycociC doesn't remove bytecode files.
        You can use "-B" option of python or PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=x to do so.
