I disagree. For one who understands counting and Python, this is a
direct way to define the count of a finite iterable. A fun

I use len(list(self.path.iterdir()))
You get an extra list created in there. Do you care?

I've generally done something like that. I suppose it could be added to
itertools.

Subject nearly says it all.
If i’m using pathlib, what’s the simplest/idiomatic way to simply count how
many files are in a given directory?
I was surprised (at first) when
len(self.path.iterdir())
didn’t work.
I don’t see anything in the .stat() object that helps me.
I could of course

Thanks James... this works *really* well for times when

But will only work when you're just scanning a single directory with no
subdirectories...!
The altern
Sorry, I've never used os.walk and didn't realize that it is a generator.
This will work for your purposes (and seems pretty fast compared to the
alternative):
file_count = len(os.walk(valid_path).next()[2])
The alternative is:
import os
import os.path
file_count = len([f for f in os.listdi
Come to think of it
file_count = len(os.walk(valid_path)[2])

I assume that there's a better way than this to count the files in a
directory recursively. Is there???
def count_em(valid_path):
x = 0
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(valid_path):
for f in files:
x = x+1
print "There are", x, "files in this directory."
15 matches
