twisted.python.filepath.AbstractFilePath : API documentation

Method	getContent	Retrieve the contents of the file at this path.
Method	parents	Retrieve an iterator of all the ancestors of this path.
Method	children	List the children of this path object.
Method	walk	Yield myself, then each of my children, and each of those children's children in turn.
Method	sibling	Return a `FilePath` with the same directory as this instance but with a basename of `path`.
Method	descendant	Retrieve a child or child's child of this path.
Method	segmentsFrom	Return a list of segments between a child and its ancestor.
Method	__hash__	Hash the same as another `FilePath` with the same path as mine.
Method	getmtime	Deprecated. Use getModificationTime instead.
Method	getatime	Deprecated. Use getAccessTime instead.
Method	getctime	Deprecated. Use getStatusChangeTime instead.

def getContent(self): (source)

Retrieve the contents of the file at this path.

Returns the contents of the file (type: bytes)

def parents(self): (source)

Retrieve an iterator of all the ancestors of this path.

Returns an iterator of all the ancestors of this path, from the most recent (its immediate parent) to the root of its filesystem.

def children(self): (source)

List the children of this path object.

Returns	an iterable of all currently-existing children of this object.
Raises	OSError	If an error occurs while listing the directory. If the error is 'serious', meaning that the operation failed due to an access violation, exhaustion of some kind of resource (file descriptors or memory), OSError or a platform-specific variant will be raised.
	UnlistableError	If the inability to list the directory is due to this path not existing or not being a directory, the more specific OSError subclass `UnlistableError` is raised instead.

def walk(self, descend=None): (source)

Yield myself, then each of my children, and each of those children's children in turn.

The optional argument descend is a predicate that takes a FilePath, and determines whether or not that FilePath is traversed/descended into. It will be called with each path for which isdir returns True. If descend is not specified, all directories will be traversed (including symbolic links which refer to directories).

Parameters	descend	A one-argument callable that will return True for FilePaths that should be traversed, False otherwise.
Returns	a generator yielding FilePath-like objects.

def sibling(self, path): (source)

overridden in twisted.python.zippath.ZipPath

Return a FilePath with the same directory as this instance but with a basename of path.

Parameters	path	The basename of the `FilePath` to return. (type: `str`)
Returns	The sibling path. (type: `FilePath`)

def descendant(self, segments): (source)

Retrieve a child or child's child of this path.

Parameters	segments	A sequence of path segments as `str` instances.
Returns	A `FilePath` constructed by looking up the `segments[0]` child of this path, the `segments[1]` child of that path, and so on.
Present Since	10.2

def segmentsFrom(self, ancestor): (source)

Return a list of segments between a child and its ancestor.

For example, in the case of a path X representing /a/b/c/d and a path Y representing /a/b, Y.segmentsFrom(X) will return ['c', 'd'].

Parameters	ancestor	an instance of the same class as self, ostensibly an ancestor of self.
Returns	a list of strs
Raises	ValueError if the 'ancestor' parameter is not actually an ancestor, i.e. a path for /x/y/z is passed as an ancestor for /a/b/c/d.

def __hash__(self): (source)

Hash the same as another FilePath with the same path as mine.

def getmtime(self): (source)

Deprecated. Use getModificationTime instead.

def getatime(self): (source)

Deprecated. Use getAccessTime instead.

def getctime(self): (source)

Deprecated. Use getStatusChangeTime instead.
