Subset of the CPython module pathlib
Dependencies
=============
This driver depends on:
* `Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>`_
Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem.
This is easily achieved by downloading
`the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://circuitpython.org/libraries>`_
or individual libraries can be installed using
`circup <https://github.com/adafruit/circup>`_.
Installing from PyPI
=====================
On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally `from
PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/adafruit-circuitpython-pathlib/>`_.
To install for current user:
.. code-block:: shell
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-pathlib
To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
.. code-block:: shell
sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-pathlib
To install in a virtual environment in your current project:
.. code-block:: shell
mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .venv
source .env/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-pathlib
Installing to a Connected CircuitPython Device with Circup
==========================================================
Make sure that you have ``circup`` installed in your Python environment.
Install it with the following command if necessary:
.. code-block:: shell
pip3 install circup
With ``circup`` installed and your CircuitPython device connected use the
following command to install:
.. code-block:: shell
circup install adafruit_pathlib
Or the following command to update an existing version:
.. code-block:: shell
circup update
Usage Example
=============
.. code-block:: python
import adafruit_pathlib
def print_directory_tree(path: adafruit_pathlib.Path, prefix: str = ""):
"""Recursively prints an ASCII tree of the given directory."""
if not path.is_dir():
print(f"{path} is not a directory.")
return
entries = sorted(path.iterdir(), key=lambda x: (not x.is_dir(), x.name.lower()))
for index, entry in enumerate(entries):
connector = "|-- " if index < len(entries) - 1 else "'-- "
print(f"{prefix}{connector}{entry.name}")
if entry.is_dir():
extension = "| " if index < len(entries) - 1 else " "
print_directory_tree(entry, prefix + extension)
dir_path = adafruit_pathlib.Path("/lib")
print_directory_tree(dir_path)
