Function Details [hide private]

expanduser(path)

source code 

Expand ~ and ~user constructs.

If user or $HOME is unknown, do nothing.

expandvars(path)

source code 

Expand shell variables of form $var and ${var}.

Unknown variables are left unchanged.

islink(path)

source code 
Test for symbolic link. On WindowsNT/95 always returns false

normcase(s)

source code 

Normalize case of pathname.

Makes all characters lowercase and all slashes into backslashes.

split(p)

source code 

Split a pathname.

Return tuple (head, tail) where tail is everything after the final slash. Either part may be empty.

splitdrive(p)

source code 
Split a pathname into drive and path specifiers. Returns a 2-tuple "(drive,path)"; either part may be empty

splitext(p)

source code 

Split the extension from a pathname.

Extension is everything from the last dot to the end. Return (root, ext), either part may be empty.

splitunc(p)

source code 

Split a pathname into UNC mount point and relative path specifiers.

Return a 2-tuple (unc, rest); either part may be empty. If unc is not empty, it has the form '//host/mount' (or similar using backslashes). unc+rest is always the input path. Paths containing drive letters never have an UNC part.

walk(top, func, arg)

source code 

Directory tree walk with callback function.

For each directory in the directory tree rooted at top (including top itself, but excluding '.' and '..'), call func(arg, dirname, fnames). dirname is the name of the directory, and fnames a list of the names of the files and subdirectories in dirname (excluding '.' and '..'). func may modify the fnames list in-place (e.g. via del or slice assignment), and walk will only recurse into the subdirectories whose names remain in fnames; this can be used to implement a filter, or to impose a specific order of visiting. No semantics are defined for, or required of, arg, beyond that arg is always passed to func. It can be used, e.g., to pass a filename pattern, or a mutable object designed to accumulate statistics. Passing None for arg is common.
