os 模块提供了一个统一的操作系统接口函数, 这些接口函数通常是平台指定的,os 模块能在不同操作系统平台如 nt 或 posix中的特定函数间自动切换,从而能实现跨平台操作
1.文件操作
build-in函数 open 实现文件创建, 打开, 修改文件的操作
import os
import string
def replace(file, search_for, replace_with):
# replace strings in a text file
back = os.path.splitext(file)[0] + ".bak"
temp = os.path.splitext(file)[0] + ".tmp"
try:
# remove old temp file, if any
os.remove(temp)
except os.error:
pass
fi = open(file) #
fo = open(temp, "w") #
for s in fi.readlines():
fo.write(string.replace(s, search_for, replace_with))
fi.close()
fo.close()
try:
# remove old backup file, if any
os.remove(back)
except os.error:
pass
# rename original to backup...
os.rename(file, back)
# ...and temporary to original
os.rename(temp, file)
# try it out!
file = "c:\samples\sample.txt"
replace(file, "hello", "tjena")# search for the string 'hello' and replace with 'tjena
replace(file, "tjena", "hello")
2. 目录操作
os 模块包含了许多对目录操作的函数
listdir 函数返回给定目录下的所有文件(包括目录)
import os
for file in os.listdir("c:\qtest"):
print file
getdir 获取当前目录
chdir 改变当前路径
cwd = os.getcwd()
print "1", cwd
# go down
os.chdir("c:\qtest")
print "2", os.getcwd()
# go back up
os.chdir(os.pardir)#返回当前目录的父目录
print "3", os.getcwd()
makedirs removedirs 生成和删除目录
makedirs可以生成多层递归目录, removedirs可以删除多层递归的空目录,若目录中有文件则无法删除
import os
os.makedirs("c:\\test\\multiple\\levels")
fp = open("c:\\test\\multiple\\levels\\file.txt", "w")
fp.write("inspector praline")
fp.close()
# remove the file
os.remove("c:\\test\\multiple\\levels\\file.txt")
# and all empty directories above it
os.removedirs("c:\\test\\multiple\\levels")
mkdir 和 rmdir只能处理单级目录操作.
若要删除非空目录, 可使用 shutil模块中的rmtree函数
3. 文件属性的操作
import os
import time
file = 'c:\qtest\editor.pyc'
st = os.stat(file)
print "state", file
def dump(st):
mode, ino, dev, nlink, uid, gid, size, atime, mtime, ctime = st
print "- size:", size, "bytes"
print "- owner:", uid, gid
print "- created:", time.ctime(ctime)
print "- last accessed:", time.ctime(atime)
print "- last modified:", time.ctime(mtime)
print "- mode:", oct(mode)
print "- inode/dev:", ino, dev
print dir(st)
dump(st)
fp = open(file)
st = os.fstat(fp.fileno())
print "fstat", file
dump(st)
