I am doing an exercise in Wesley Chun's book. Find files in the
standard library modules that have doc strings. Then find the
ones that don't, "the shame list". I came up with this to find the
ones with;
why not __import__() it then test whether its .__doc__ is None?
def test(filename):
if __import__(filename).__doc__ is None:
shame_list.append(filename)
else:
fame_list.append(filename)
Thanks Spir and Lie,
How about;
#!/usr/bin/python
import os
import glob
import os.path
shame_list = []
fame_list = []
pypath = "/usr/lib/python2.5/"
def grab_files():
fnames = glob.glob(os.path.join(pypath, '*.py'))
fnames.sort()
sendall(fnames)
def sendall(fnames):
for filename in fnames:
filename = os.path.split(filename)
filename = filename[1]
filename = os.path.splitext(filename)
filename = filename[0]
test(filename)
def test(filename):
try:
if __import__(filename).__doc__ is None:
shame_list.append(filename)
else:
fame_list.append(filename)
except ImportError:
pass
grab_files()
print 'Shame List: ', shame_list
How can I do;
def sendall(fnames):
[snip]
More efficient.
I don't know about being "more efficient" but using os.path.basename()
can save one step:
filename = os.path.splitext(os.path.basename(filename))[0]
and you may try to use os.path.walk() for your grab_files().
os.path.walk will walk recursively through subdirectories and grabs
other stdlib packages you may have missed (note: although it also grabs
non standard-lib packages; note: you also cannot use glob with it; these
are tradeoffs, so find out which is easier for you)
Also in this code:
> def test(filename):
> try:
> if __import__(filename).__doc__ is None:
> shame_list.append(filename)
> else:
> fame_list.append(filename)
> except ImportError:
> pass
avoid globals...
