Convert a filesystem to a dictionary you can edit in python.
Currently, this is just meant to be a quick and easy way to create nested directories easily in python.
from jsonfs import Directory
# Creates a directory in the current dir.
# This oject can be treated as a dictionary.
directory = Directory("somedir")
# Create a file (values don't really matter)
directory["somefile.txt"] = None
# Create a directory
directory["anotherdir"] = {"anotherfile.csv": None}
# Commit the changes to impliment the changes above.
directory.commit() # Now the files and dir are created under "somedir/"
# You can commit with a callback function to call every time a file
# is found in the tree when iterating over files.
def callback(fullpath):
print fullpath
directory.commit(filehandler=callback) # prints "somefile.txt" and "anotherfile.csv"
## Other stuff
# All keys are converted to strings when committing.
directory[(1, 2)] = None # somedir/(1,\ 2)
# If a filename that is specified like a directory is used as a key,
# the file will not be created.
directory["potentialdir/"] = None # No new file created$ python testjsonfs.py- Add a way for deleting files.
- Figure out a way the value for each dictionary can be used.
