dynamic file selection

[octaflop]

This is just a feature request/help for implementing a function to automagically bundle all files of a certain type in a directory. I tried writing my own function:

def make_css_bundle(media_root, dir):
    files = os.listdir(os.path.join(media_root, dir))
    files.sort()
    files = [os.path.join(dir, f) for f in files]
    return files

and calling it like this:

css_all = Bundle(
                make_css_bundle(STATIC_ROOT, 'verbena/css'),
                make_css_bundle(STATIC_ROOT, 'verbena/diversifist/css'),
                filters='cssmin', output='gen/all.css')

but I'm running into errors because the Bundle._build function doesn't support lists (I'm not that great of a programmer, so I gave up). I think this feature is important as it will allow a user to use Pinax css folders without hand-coding each file.

This should work (with the git version anyway, not sure about the release):

css_all = Bundle('verbena/css/*.css', 'verbena/diversifist/css/*', filters=....)

FWIW, to make your approach work, you'd need to concat everything to a single list, and then use Python's * syntax to pass the list items as individual arguments:

file_list = make_css_bundle() + make_css_bundle() + ['a', 'b', 'c']
Bundle(*file_list, filters=...)
