twisted.python.filepath : API documentation

Object-oriented filesystem path representation.

Interface	IFilePath	File path object.
Class	InsecurePath	Error that is raised when the path provided to `FilePath` is invalid.
Class	LinkError	An error with symlinks - either that there are cyclical symlinks or that symlink are not supported on this platform.
Class	UnlistableError	An exception which is used to distinguish between errors which mean 'this is not a directory you can list' and other, more catastrophic errors.
Class	AbstractFilePath	Abstract implementation of an `IFilePath`; must be completed by a subclass.
Class	RWX	A class representing read/write/execute permissions for a single user category (i.e. user/owner, group, or other/world). Instantiate with three boolean values: readable? writable? executable?.
Class	Permissions	A class representing read/write/execute permissions. Instantiate with any portion of the file's mode that includes the permission bits.
Class	FilePath	I am a path on the filesystem that only permits 'downwards' access.
Function	_stub_islink	Always return `False` if the operating system does not support symlinks.
Class	_WindowsUnlistableError	This exception is raised on Windows, for compatibility with previous releases of FilePath where unportable programs may have done "except WindowsError:" around a call to children().
Function	_secureEnoughString	Compute a string usable as a new, temporary filename.
Class	_SpecialNoValue	An object that represents 'no value', to be used in deprecating statinfo.
Function	_asFilesystemBytes	Return `path` as a string of `bytes` suitable for use on this system's filesystem.
Function	_asFilesystemText	Return `path` as a string of `unicode` suitable for use on this system's filesystem.
Function	_coerceToFilesystemEncoding	Return a `newpath` that is suitable for joining to `path`.

def _stub_islink(path): (source)

Always return False if the operating system does not support symlinks.

Parameters	path	A path string. (type: `str`)
Returns	`False` (type: `bool`)

def _secureEnoughString(path): (source)

Compute a string usable as a new, temporary filename.

Parameters	path	The path that the new temporary filename should be able to be concatenated with.
Returns	A pseudorandom, 16 byte string for use in secure filenames. (type: the type of `path`)

def _asFilesystemBytes(path, encoding=None): (source)

Return path as a string of bytes suitable for use on this system's filesystem.

Parameters	path	The path to be made suitable. (type: `bytes` or `unicode`)
	encoding	The encoding to use if coercing to `bytes`. If none is given, `sys.getfilesystemencoding` is used.
Returns	`bytes`

def _asFilesystemText(path, encoding=None): (source)

Return path as a string of unicode suitable for use on this system's filesystem.

Parameters	path	The path to be made suitable. (type: `bytes` or `unicode`)
	encoding	The encoding to use if coercing to `unicode`. If none is given, `sys.getfilesystemencoding` is used.
Returns	`unicode`

def _coerceToFilesystemEncoding(path, newpath, encoding=None): (source)

Return a newpath that is suitable for joining to path.

Parameters	path	The path that it should be suitable for joining to.
	newpath	The new portion of the path to be coerced if needed.
	encoding	If coerced, the encoding that will be used.
