Functions

Copy an entire directory tree 'src' to a new location 'dst'. |
|
Create a directory and any missing ancestor directories. |
- sebaubuntu_libs.libcompat.distutils.dir_util.copy_tree(src, dst, preserve_mode=1, preserve_times=1, preserve_symlinks=0, update=0, verbose=1, dry_run=0, skip_non_regular_files=0)
Copy an entire directory tree ‘src’ to a new location ‘dst’.
Both ‘src’ and ‘dst’ must be directory names. If ‘src’ is not a directory, raise DistutilsFileError. If ‘dst’ does not exist, it is created with ‘mkpath()’. The end result of the copy is that every file in ‘src’ is copied to ‘dst’, and directories under ‘src’ are recursively copied to ‘dst’. Return the list of files that were copied or might have been copied, using their output name. The return value is unaffected by ‘update’ or ‘dry_run’: it is simply the list of all files under ‘src’, with the names changed to be under ‘dst’.
‘preserve_mode’ and ‘preserve_times’ are the same as for ‘copy_file’; note that they only apply to regular files, not to directories. If ‘preserve_symlinks’ is true, symlinks will be copied as symlinks (on platforms that support them!); otherwise (the default), the destination of the symlink will be copied. ‘update’ and ‘verbose’ are the same as for ‘copy_file’.
- sebaubuntu_libs.libcompat.distutils.dir_util.mkpath(name, mode=511, verbose=1, dry_run=0)
Create a directory and any missing ancestor directories.
If the directory already exists (or if ‘name’ is the empty string, which means the current directory, which of course exists), then do nothing. Raise DistutilsFileError if unable to create some directory along the way (eg. some sub-path exists, but is a file rather than a directory). If ‘verbose’ is true, print a one-line summary of each mkdir to stdout. Return the list of directories actually created.
os.makedirs is not used because:
It’s new to Python 1.5.2, and
it blows up if the directory already exists (in which case it should silently succeed).
