I am moving some files with a python script. The script should work on both osx and windows.
I am using the the glob module to select the files. Filter out directories with isfile method from os.path. The glob module automatically ignores unix . files but it seems that it does grab some windows hidden files. I have added code to remove one "desktop.ini" that seems to have appeared in windows.
Are there any other Windows files that might appear or is there a way to ensure that I do not select hidden files in Windows?
files = glob.glob('*')
files = filter(os.path.isfile, files) # filter out dirs
if "desktop.ini" in files : files.remove('desktop.ini')
# then using "shutil.move" to actually move the files
You might want to try Formic .
from formic import FileSet
fileset = FileSet(directory="/some/where/interesting",
include="*.py",
exclude=["desktop.ini", ".*", "addition", "globs", "here"]
)
for filename in fileset:
# use shutil to move them
This is a Python library using Globs, but i) already understands most hidden files (list of builtins here ), and ii) allows you to specify any files to exclude from the results ( documentation )
