Python library for interacting with the file system

Revelio

Revelio is a Python library for interacting with the file system in an object oriented manner. I know you can use os and os.path to do all of these but I find their usage hard to remember and not very object oriented.

Installation

You can use pip to install Revelio.

pip install revelio

Usage

Revelio is an object oriented interface for the file system. All files and directories (folders) are considered Path objects. Any path except the root, has a parent: the directory it is in. Directories have children, some of them are files and some are subdirectories.

Path

Usually we want to start in the current working directory:

from revelio import Path
current_directory = Path.get_current_directory()

# ls or dir:
print(current_directory.list())

# get the first subdirectory:
first_subdirectory = current_directory.directories[0]

# get the parent directory:
parent_directory = current_directory.parent_directory
