[issue19642] shutil to support equivalent of: rm -f /dir/*

2014-09-26 Thread Serhiy Storchaka 

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

Rather like this:

for n in os.listdir(dirpath):
p = os.path.join(dirpath, n)
if os.path.isdir(p):
shutil.rmtree(p)
else:
os.unlink(p)

[issue19642] shutil to support equivalent of: rm -f /dir/*

2014-09-26 Thread Antoine Pitrou 

Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

 rm -rf /dir

Isn't it shutil.rmtree()? Am I missing something?

 rm -f /dir/*

So it should skip dotted files, or remove them?

[issue19642] shutil to support equivalent of: rm -f /dir/*

2013-11-18 Thread Ivan Radic 

New submission from Ivan Radic:

Shutil supports deleting of files and directories but it offers no way to 
delete directory content (without deleting directory itself). Shell programming 
includes a lot of rm -rf /dir and rm -f /dir/*, and there is no direct 
equivalent of these commands in Python. Educate me if I am wrong on this claim.

Sure, I can write a quick for loop, and delete each subfile and subdirectory 
manually, but adding such ability to shutil would greatly enhance readability 
and simplicity of Python file handling scripts.

Implementation could be as simply as :
import os
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(top, topdown=False):
for name in files:
os.remove(os.path.join(root, name))
for name in dirs:
os.rmdir(os.path.join(root, name))

(example taken from http://docs.python.org/2/library/os.html#os.walk)

[issue19642] shutil to support equivalent of: rm -f /dir/*

2013-11-18 Thread R. David Murray 

R. David Murray added the comment:

See also issue 13229.

You can replicate 'rm -f' like this:

   for p in glob.glob('/dir/*'): 
  os.remove(p)

That doesn't seem worth an extra function.

The annoying one to emulate is 'rm -rf /dir/*', because with the current shutil 
tools you have to make different calls depending on whether the object is a 
file or a directory.  Pathlib doesn't help with that (it has no generic 
'remove' method that applies to both directories and files), but it does make 
the iteration easier.
