twisted.python.filepath.AbstractFilePath

class documentation

class AbstractFilePath: (source)

Known subclasses: twisted.python.filepath.FilePath, twisted.python.zippath.ZipPath

Abstract implementation of an IFilePath; must be completed by a subclass.

This class primarily exists to provide common implementations of certain methods in IFilePath. It is *not* a required parent class for IFilePath implementations, just a useful starting point.

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

def __hash__(self): (source)

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

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 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 getatime(self): (source)

Deprecated. Use getAccessTime instead.

def getContent(self): (source)

Retrieve the contents of the file at this path.

Returns
`bytes`	the contents of the file

def getctime(self): (source)

Deprecated. Use getStatusChangeTime instead.

def getmtime(self): (source)

Deprecated. Use getModificationTime instead.

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 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 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:`str`	The basename of the `FilePath` to return.
Returns
`FilePath`	The sibling path.

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.
