i have to merge two text files together into one, and create a new list from that. The first one contains urls and the other one urlpaths/folder, which have to be applied to EVERY url. Im Working with lists, and its really slow, because its roughtly about 200,000 items.
Sample:
urls.txt:
http://wwww.google.com
....
paths.txt:
/abc
/bce
....
Later, after the loop is finished, there should be a new list with
http://wwww.google.com/abc
http://wwww.google.com/bce
Python Code:
URLS_TO_CHECK = [] #defined as global, needed later
def generate_list():
urls = open("urls.txt", "r").read().splitlines()
paths = open("paths.txt", "r").read().splitlines()
done = open("done.txt", "r").read().splitlines() #old done urls
for i in range(len(urls)):
for x in range(len(paths)):
url = re.search('(http://(.+?)....)', urls[i]) #needed
url = "%s%s" %(url.group(1), paths[x])
if url not in URLS_TO_CHECK:
if url not in done:
URLS_TO_CHECK.append(url) ##<<< slow!
Already read some other threads about map
function, disable gc
, but cant use map
function with my program. and disable gc
didn't really help.
This approach takes advantage of things such as:
def yield_urls():
with open("paths.txt") as f:
paths = f.readlines() # needed in each iteration and iterates over, may be list
with open("done.txt") as f:
done_urls = set(f.readlines()) # needed in each iteration and looked up, set is O(1) vs O(n) in list
# resources are cleaned up after with
with open("urls.txt", "r") as f:
for url in f: # iterate over list, not big list of ints generated before iteratiob, much quicker
for subpath in paths:
full_url = ''.join((url[7:], subpath)) # no regex means faster, maybe string formatting is quicker than join, you need to check
# also, take care about trailing newlines in strings read from file
if full_url not in done_urls: # fast lookup in set
yield full_url # yield instead of appending
# usage
for url in yield_urls():
pass # to something with url
URLS_TO_CHECK = set(re.findall("'http://(.+?)....'",open("urls.txt", "r").read()))
for url in URLS_TO_CHECK:
for path in paths:
check_url(url+path)
will probably be much faster ... and I think its essentially the same ....
Search in Dictionaries is faster compared lists Python: List vs Dict for look up table
URLS_TO_CHECK = {} #defined as global, needed later
def generate_list():
urls = open("urls.txt", "r").read().splitlines()
paths = open("paths.txt", "r").read().splitlines()
done = dict([(l, True) for l in open("done.txt", "r").read().splitlines()]) #old done urls
for i in range(len(urls)):
for x in range(len(paths)):
url = re.search('(http://(.+?)....)', urls[i]) #needed
url = "%s%s" %(url.group(1), paths[x])
if not url in URLS_TO_CHECK:
if not url in done:
URLS_TO_CHECK[url] = True #Result in URLS_TO_CHECK.keys()
