tdir 0.9.1

Create and recursively fill a temporary directory

A context manager that creates a temporary directory using tempfile.TemporaryDirectory and then populates it.

Extremely useful for unit tests where you want a whole directory full of files really fast.

EXAMPLE

import tdir

with tdir.tdir(
    'one', 'two', 'three',
    four='two\nlines',
    sub1={
        'six': 'A short file',
        'seven': 'blank lines\n\n\n\n',
        'eight': ['a', 'b', 'c']
}) as td:
    # Now the directory `td` has files `one`, `two` and `three`, each with
    # one line, file `four` with two lines, and then a subdirectory `sub/`
    # with more files.
