As you may already have noticed, I am quite found of Python as a programming language.
I fell in love with Python some years ago, but you should know more about this soon :).
As many of Python users, I started with Dive into Python .
Some days ago, I found myself into the very first Python script I ever written (but still use some times :)). I found it funny (even more when you think that It can be reduced to a one-liner), and thought I would share it.
It aims at listing all documents from a given extension in a folder. To use it, simply run
{% highlight bash %}
$ docfinder folder extension
{% endhighlight %}
So here is the code :
{% highlight python %}
#!/usr/bin/python
#_*_ coding: ISO-8859-15 _*_
import os
import sys
def scan_rep(repertoir, extension):
"""scanne le rep courant pour trouver des tex"""
for racine, reps, fichiers in os.walk(repertoir, topdown=True):
for fichier in fichiers:
if fichier.endswith('.%s' % extension):
nom_complet=os.path.join(racine, fichier)
print '%s '%\(nom_complet)
if __name__=='__main__':
scan_rep(sys.argv[1],sys.argv[2])
{% endhighlight %}
Pretty lame, isn't it ? :)
When you find yourself a bad programmer, it is always good to look at the past and see that you actually made some progress :).
You might want to check my current pet project, it is also all Python :)
