New submission from Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com>: I needed a depth-limited, filtered search of a directory tree recently and came up with the following wrapper around os.walk that brings in a few niceties like glob-style filtering, depth limiting and symlink traversal that is safe from infinite loops. It also emits a named tuple rather than the bare tuple emitted by os.walk:
http://code.activestate.com/recipes/577913-selective-directory-walking/ I think this would make a nice addition to 3.3 as shutil.filter_walk, but it need tests, documentation and reformatting as a patch before it can go anywhere. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 145999 nosy: ncoghlan priority: normal severity: normal stage: test needed status: open title: Add shutil.filter_walk type: feature request versions: Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13229> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
