Installation

You can install Sortipy using pip:

pip install sortipy

Usage

from sortipy import sortipy

# Sort files in a directory without specifing extensions
sort_everything = sortipy.sort("path/to/your/directory")

# Sort files in a directory and specify extensions to consider
sort_specific_extensions = sortipy.sort("path/to/your/directory", extensions=["pdf", "txt"])

# Print the sorted results
print(sort_everything)

Parameters

• path (str): The path to the directory containing files to be sorted.
• extensions (List[str], optional): A list of file extensions to consider during sorting. Defaults to an empty list. If not provided, Sortipy considers all file extensions in the directory.

Returns

A dictionary containing sorted files grouped by their extensions. Keys represent file extensions, and values are lists of file names.

Example

Suppose you have a directory "C:/Users/username/Downloads" with the following files:

• report.pdf
• notes.txt
• picture.jpg
• document.docx
• presentation.pptx

You can sort the PDF and TXT files with Sortipy:

from sortipy import sortipy

# Sort PDF and TXT files in the Downloads directory
results = sortipy.sort("C:/Users/username/Downloads", extensions=["pdf", "txt"])

# Print the sorted results
print(results)

Output:

{
    'pdf': ['report'],
    'txt': ['notes']
}

Now, the PDF and TXT files are moved to their respective folders within the Downloads directory.

Default Behavior

By default, Sortipy considers all file extensions in the directory for sorting. If you want to do this, you don't need to pass the extensions list. Only the directory will work just fine.
