Treewalker

A simple package to walk a directory tree and collect files and sizes into a SQLite DB.

Usage

For simple use cases, simply install the package from PyPI:

pip install treewalker

And run it from the command line:

treewalker --help
treewalker --output test.sqlite --path C:/temp

Usage and development

Get started (change directory to where you want the project first):

pip install treewalker

Run the script with your own .json configuration:

python treewalker.py --cfg my_config.json

{
    "output": "test.sqlite",
    "path": "c:/temp"
}

Or run the script entirely from the command line:

python walker.py --output test.sqlite --path c:\temp

Or build a single file executable if you need this to run on Windows systems that won't have Python pre-installed:

scripts/build_pyinstaller.bat c:/target/folder
scripts/build_pyinstaller_xp.bat c:/target/folder

This creates a treewalker.exe, which can be run 'anywhere':

.\treewalker.exe --output test.sqlite --path c:\temp

Note that the executable will be limited to running on systems that support the version of Python you're using to build it. I.e. for Windows XP (32-bit or 64-bit), the very latest version of Python you can use is 3.4.4.
