PathQuery

PathQuery is a tool to declaratively define file searches that returns a list of path.py Path objects.

Example

Search for all files recursively except in the node_modules folder and change its perms:

from pathquery import pathq

for p in pathq("yourdir").ext("js").but_not(pathq("yourdir/node_modules)):
    p.chmod(0755)

Install

To use:

$ pip install pathquery

API

Path properties can be inspected as part of the query:

pathq("yourdir").is_dir()
pathq("yourdir").is_not_dir()
pathq("yourdir").is_symlink()
pathq("yourdir").is_not_symlink()

Queries are also chainable:

for p in pathq("yourdir").ext("pyc").is_symlink().but_not(pathq("yourdir/node_modules")):
    p.remove()
