Ok, with all your help and very useful hints, i managed to solve it!
thanks!
Now my program loops through the config file, and deletes the files
older than 7 days with a specified extension.
Here's my program:
#this project removes old log files
import os, time
from ConfigParser import ConfigParser
now=time.time()
cfg = ConfigParser()
cfg.read("projects.cfg")
#loop through the config file
for proj in cfg.sections():
print ""
#get the path where file files should be
path = cfg.items(proj)[1][1]
#get the filetype
ftype = cfg.items(proj)[0][1]
print "project: %s, path to old logfiles: %s" % (proj, path)
dirList=os.listdir(path)
# Now check if the file is not a dir and then check if the file is
older than 7 days
for fname in dirList:
if fname.endswith(ftype):
pad = path+"\\"+fname
if os.stat(pad).st_mtime < now - 7 * 86400:
if os.path.isfile(pad):
os.remove(pad)
print "The file %s is deleted" % (fname)
