File search and file system traversal¶
-
pshell.
glob
(pathname, *, min_results=0, max_results=None)¶ Like
glob.glob()
, but in addition it supports environment variables in pathname, logs the number of results, and incorporates protection from non-existing paths.Parameters: Raises: FileMatchError – if got less results than min_results or more than max_results
-
pshell.
iglob
(pathname, *, min_results=0, max_results=None)¶ Like glob, but returns an iterator instead. Notice that, unlike with glob, you may have time to process some of the results before
FileMatchError`
is raised.Also, in case
max_results
is exceeded, the iteration will stop immediately.e.g.:
>>> for fname in glob("test*.txt", max_results=2): >>> print(fname) FileMatchError: File match test*.txt produced 4 results, expected up to 2 >>> for fname in iglob("test*.txt", max_results=2): >>> print(fname) test1.txt test2.txt FileMatchError: File match test*.txt produced 3 or more results, expected up to 2

pshell.
FileMatchError
¶ glob returned not enough or too many matches
