python 常用模块之os、sys、shutil

一、os模块

说明：os模块是对操作系统进行调用的接口

os.pardir  #获取当前目录的父目录字符串名：('..')
os.makedirs('dirname1/dirname2')    #可生成多层递归目录
os.removedirs('dirname1')    #若目录为空，则删除，并递归到上一级目录，如若也为空，则删除，依此类推
os.mkdir('dirname')    #生成单级目录；相当于shell中mkdir dirname
os.rmdir('dirname')    #删除单级空目录，若目录不为空则无法删除，报错；相当于shell中rmdir dirname
os.listdir('dirname')    #列出指定目录下的所有文件和子目录，包括隐藏文件，并以列表方式打印
os.remove()  #删除一个文件
os.rename("oldname","newname")  #重命名文件/目录
os.stat('path/filename')  #获取文件/目录信息
os.sep    #输出操作系统特定的路径分隔符，win下为"\\",Linux下为"/"
os.linesep    #输出当前平台使用的行终止符，win下为"\t\n",Linux下为"\n"
os.pathsep    #输出用于分割文件路径的字符串
os.name    #输出字符串指示当前使用平台。win->'nt'; Linux->'posix'
os.system("bash command")  #运行shell命令，直接显示
os.environ  #获取系统环境变量
os.path.abspath(path)  #返回path规范化的绝对路径
os.path.split(path)  #将path分割成目录和文件名二元组返回
os.path.dirname(path)  #返回path的目录。其实就是os.path.split(path)的第一个元素
os.path.basename(path)  #返回path最后的文件名。如何path以／或\结尾，那么就会返回空值。即os.path.split(path)的第二个元素
os.path.exists(path)  #如果path存在，返回True；如果path不存在，返回False
os.path.isabs(path)  #如果path是绝对路径，返回True
os.path.isfile(path)  #如果path是一个存在的文件，返回True。否则返回False
os.path.isdir(path)  #如果path是一个存在的目录，则返回True。否则返回False
os.path.join(path1[, path2[, ...]])  #将多个路径组合后返回，第一个绝对路径之前的参数将被忽略
os.path.getatime(path)  #返回path所指向的文件或者目录的最后存取时间
os.path.getmtime(path)  #返回path所指向的文件或者目录的最后修改时间

 二、sys模块

sys.argv           #命令行参数List，第一个元素是程序本身路径
sys.exit(n)        #退出程序，正常退出时exit(0)
sys.version        #获取Python解释程序的版本信息
sys.maxint         #最大的Int值
sys.path           #返回模块的搜索路径，初始化时使用PYTHONPATH环境变量的值
sys.platform       #返回操作系统平台名称
sys.stdout.write('please:')
val = sys.stdin.readline()[:-1]

三、shutil 模块

高级的 文件、文件夹、压缩包 处理模块

shutil.copyfileobj(fsrc, fdst[, length])
将文件内容拷贝到另一个文件中，可以部分内容

def copyfileobj(fsrc, fdst, length=16*1024):
    """copy data from file-like object fsrc to file-like object fdst"""
    while 1:
        buf = fsrc.read(length)
        if not buf:
            break
        fdst.write(buf)

shutil.copyfile(src, dst)

拷贝文件

def copyfile(src, dst):
    """Copy data from src to dst"""
    if _samefile(src, dst):
        raise Error("`%s` and `%s` are the same file" % (src, dst))

    for fn in [src, dst]:
        try:
            st = os.stat(fn)
        except OSError:
            # File most likely does not exist
            pass
        else:
            # XXX What about other special files? (sockets, devices...)
            if stat.S_ISFIFO(st.st_mode):
                raise SpecialFileError("`%s` is a named pipe" % fn)

    with open(src, 'rb') as fsrc:
        with open(dst, 'wb') as fdst:
            copyfileobj(fsrc, fdst)

 shutil.copymode(src, dst)
仅拷贝权限。内容、组、用户均不变

 def copymode(src, dst):
     """Copy mode bits from src to dst"""
     if hasattr(os, 'chmod'):
         st = os.stat(src)
         mode = stat.S_IMODE(st.st_mode)
         os.chmod(dst, mode)

 shutil.copystat(src, dst)

拷贝状态的信息，包括：mode bits, atime, mtime, flags

def copystat(src, dst):
    """Copy all stat info (mode bits, atime, mtime, flags) from src to dst"""
    st = os.stat(src)
    mode = stat.S_IMODE(st.st_mode)
    if hasattr(os, 'utime'):
        os.utime(dst, (st.st_atime, st.st_mtime))
    if hasattr(os, 'chmod'):
        os.chmod(dst, mode)
    if hasattr(os, 'chflags') and hasattr(st, 'st_flags'):
        try:
            os.chflags(dst, st.st_flags)
        except OSError, why:
            for err in 'EOPNOTSUPP', 'ENOTSUP':
                if hasattr(errno, err) and why.errno == getattr(errno, err):
                    break
            else:
                raise

 shutil.copy(src, dst)

拷贝文件和权限

def copy(src, dst):
    """Copy data and mode bits ("cp src dst").

    The destination may be a directory.

    """
    if os.path.isdir(dst):
        dst = os.path.join(dst, os.path.basename(src))
    copyfile(src, dst)
    copymode(src, dst)

shutil.copy2(src, dst)

拷贝文件和状态信息

def copy2(src, dst):
    """Copy data and all stat info ("cp -p src dst").

    The destination may be a directory.

    """
    if os.path.isdir(dst):

    copyfile(src, dst)
    copystat(src, dst)

shutil.ignore_patterns(*patterns)

shutil.copytree(src, dst, symlinks=False, ignore=None)
递归的去拷贝文件

例如：copytree(source, destination, ignore=ignore_patterns('*.pyc', 'tmp*'))

def ignore_patterns(*patterns):
    """Function that can be used as copytree() ignore parameter.

    Patterns is a sequence of glob-style patterns

    source tree result in symbolic links in the destination tree; if
    it is false, the contents of the files pointed to by symbolic
    links are copied.

    The optional ignore argument is a callable. If given, it
    is called with the `src` parameter, which is the directory
    being visited by copytree(), and `names` which is the list of
    `src` contents, as returned by os.listdir():

        callable(src, names) -> ignored_names

    Since copytree() is called recursively, the callable will be
    called once for each directory that is copied. It returns a
    list of names relative to the `src` directory that should
    not be copied.

  如：www                        =>保存至当前路径
  如：/Users/wupeiqi/www =>保存至/Users/wupeiqi/
• format： 压缩包种类，“zip”, “tar”, “bztar”，“gztar”
• root_dir： 要压缩的文件夹路径（默认当前目录）
• owner： 用户，默认当前用户
• group： 组，默认当前组
• logger： 用于记录日志，通常是logging.Logger对象

shutil 对压缩包的处理是调用 ZipFile 和 TarFile 两个模块来进行的，详细：

import tarfile

# 压缩
tar = tarfile.open('your.tar','w')
tar.add('/Users/wupeiqi/PycharmProjects/bbs2.zip', arcname='bbs2.zip')
tar.add('/Users/wupeiqi/PycharmProjects/cmdb.zip', arcname='cmdb.zip')
tar.close()

# 解压
tar = tarfile.open('your.tar','r')
tar.extractall()  # 可设置解压地址
tar.close()

import tarfile

# 压缩
tar = tarfile.open('your.tar','w')
tar.add('/Users/wupeiqi/PycharmProjects/bbs2.zip', arcname='bbs2.zip')
tar.add('/Users/wupeiqi/PycharmProjects/cmdb.zip', arcname='cmdb.zip')
tar.close()

# 解压
tar = tarfile.open('your.tar','r')
tar.extractall()  # 可设置解压地址
tar.close()
