FileWork : Cheat Sheet

This handy cheat sheet gives you all the information you need at a glance.

Module OS

• Remove file

  >>> import os
  >>> os.remove("filename")
  

• Rename file

  >>> import os
  >>> os.rename("actual_name", "new_name")
  

Module OS.Path

• Check if file exist

  >>> import os
  >>> os.path.exists("Filename" or "Path")
  Return Bolean
  

• Size of file

  >>> import os
  >>> os.path.getsize("Filename" or "Path")
  Return Size in bytes
  

• Last modification

  >>> import os
  >>> os.path.getmtime("Filename" or "Path")
  Return TimeStamp
  

  Remember: Timestamp, it represents the number of seconds since January 1st, 1970.

Convert TimeStamp to Date

>>> import os
>>> import datetime
>>> timestamp = os.path.getmtime("Filename" or "Path")
>>> file_date_time = datetime.fromtimestamp(timestamp)
# Convert timestamp to Date
## Type Mon Sep 30 07:06:05 2013
>>> d = date_time.strftime("%c")
print("Date:", d)	
## Type Date 09/30/13
>>> d = date_time.strftime("%x")
print("Date :", d)
## Type Hour 07:06:05
>>> d = date_time.strftime("%X")
print("Date :", d)

• Get Absolute Path

  >>> import os
  >>> os.path.abspath("filename" or "path)
  Return 'Path'
