rignore 0.5.0

Python Bindings for the ignore crate

rignore 🚀🐍

rignore is a Python module that provides a high-performance, Rust-powered file system traversal functionality. It wraps the Rust ignore crate using PyO3, offering an efficient way to walk through directories while respecting various ignore rules.

✨ Features

• 🚀 Fast directory traversal powered by Rust
• 🙈 Respects .gitignore rules
• 🛠️ Customizable ignore patterns
• 💾 Efficient memory usage
• 🐍 Easy-to-use Python API

📦 Installation

You can install rignore using pip:

pip install rignore

🚀 Usage

The main function provided by rignore is walk, which returns an iterator of file paths:

import rignore

for file_path in rignore.walk("/path/to/directory"):
    print(file_path)

🔧 Advanced Usage

The walk function accepts several optional parameters to customize its behavior:

rignore.walk(
    path,
    ignore_hidden=None,
    read_ignore_files=None,
    read_parents_ignores=None,
    read_git_ignore=None,
    read_global_git_ignore=None,
    read_git_exclude=None,
    require_git=None,
    additional_ignores=None,
    additional_ignore_paths=None,
    max_depth=None,
    max_filesize=None,
    follow_links=None,
    case_insensitive=None,
    same_file_system=None,
    filter_entry=None,
)

📝 Parameters

• path (str): The root directory to start the walk from.
• ignore_hidden (bool, optional): Whether to ignore hidden files and directories.
• read_ignore_files (bool, optional): Whether to read .ignore files.
• read_parents_ignores (bool, optional): Whether to read ignore files from parent directories.
• read_git_ignore (bool, optional): Whether to respect .gitignore files.
• read_global_git_ignore (bool, optional): Whether to respect global Git ignore rules.
• read_git_exclude (bool, optional): Whether to respect Git exclude files.
• require_git (bool, optional): Whether to require the directory to be a Git repository.
• additional_ignores (List[str], optional): Additional ignore patterns to apply.
• additional_ignore_paths (List[str], optional): Additional ignore file paths to read.
• max_depth (int, optional): Maximum depth to traverse.
• max_filesize (int, optional): Maximum file size to consider (in bytes).
• follow_links (bool, optional): Whether to follow symbolic links.
• case_insensitive (bool, optional): Whether to use case-insensitive matching for ignore patterns.
• same_file_system (bool, optional): Whether to stay on the same file system.
• filter_entry (Callable[[str, bool], optional): Custom filter function to exclude entries.

⚡ Performance

rignore leverages the power of Rust to provide high-performance directory traversal. It's significantly faster than pure Python implementations, especially for large directory structures.
