PyFileIndex - pythonic file system index
The pyfileindex helps to keep track of files in a specific directory, to monitor added files, modified files and deleted files. The module is compatible with Python 3.7 or later but restricted to Unix-like system - Windows is not supported.
Installation
The pyfileindex can either be installed via pip using:
pip install pyfileindex
Or via anaconda from the conda-forge channel
conda install -c conda-forge pyfileindex
Usage
Import pyfileindex:
from pyfileindex import PyFileIndex
pfi = PyFileIndex(path='.')
Or you can filter for a specifc file extension:
def filter_function(file_name):
return '.txt' in file_name
pfi = PyFileIndex(path='.', filter_function=filter_function)
List files in the file system index:
pfi.dataframe
Update file system index:
pfi.update()
And open a subdirectory using:
pfi.open(path='subdirectory')
