Creating, Finding, and Copying
|
|
|
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Python's :mod:`os`, :mod:`os.path`, and :mod:`shutil` modules provide
|
|
|
|
|
good coverage of file wrangling fundaments, and these functions help
|
|
|
|
|
close a few remaining gaps.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. autofunction:: boltons.fileutils.mkdir_p
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. autofunction:: boltons.fileutils.iter_find_files
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. autofunction:: boltons.fileutils.copytree
|
|
|

Atomic File Saving
|
|
|
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ideally, the road to success should never put current progress at
|
|
|
|
|
risk. That's why overwriting a file should only happen after the task
|
|
|
|
|
at hand has completed. And that's exactly what :func:`atomic_save` and
|
|
|
|
|
:class:`AtomicSaver` do.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. autofunction:: boltons.fileutils.atomic_save
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. autoclass:: boltons.fileutils.AtomicSaver
|

File Permissions
|
|
|
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Linux, BSD, Mac OS, and other Unix-like operating systems all share a
|
|
|
|
|
simple, foundational file permission structure that is commonly
|
|
|
|
|
complicit in accidental access denial, as well as file
|
|
|
|
|
leakage. :class:`FilePerms` was built to increase clarity and cut down
|
|
|
|
|
on permission-related accidents when working with files from Python
|
|
|
|
|
code.

|
.. autoclass:: boltons.fileutils.FilePerms
