Pyfind

This is a pure Python implementation of the find utility that you all have in the linux terminal. This version includes the following features:

• Regex search
• Search based on file weight: more than X mb or less than Y mb
• Search based on last modification of the file: older than X or newer than Y

Installation

Git clone the repository and just pip install it!
