Project description

Fast File Count in Python

This is a Python package to quickly count the number of files and directories in a given path. Optionally you can count recursively and include hidden files in the total.

This package is a wrapper around fast-file-count by Christopher Schultz . Credit for the initial version belongs to Christopher Schultz, I wrote the Python wrapper, converted the Windows code to use builtin functionality, and packaged it up. See the file src/c_count.c for the other contributors and see the commit history of this package on GitHub for my exact changes.

Installation

Installation can be done easily with pip:

$ pip install ffcount

Usage

There is a command line application called ffcount, which recursively counts files and directories:

$ ffcount

See ffcount -h for options.

The package can also be used as a Python library, using the ffcount function. This function returns a tuple (number_of_files, number_of_dirs) and it can be used as follows:

>>> from ffcount import ffcount

# count everything under the current path
>>> ffcount()
(521013, 43012)

# count without hidden files
>>> ffcount(hidden=False)
(234012, 12082)

# use a different path
>>> ffcount('/tmp')
(81, 10)

Note that ffcount counts links as files, even if they point to a directory. In some cases, this explains the discrepancy with other ways of counting.

Docs

The full documentation of the ffcount function is:

def ffcount(path='.', recursive=True, hidden=True, quiet=True):
    """Fast file count

    Count the files and directories in the given path. By default the function
    is recursive and does not print errors. This function uses the C
    implementation by Christopher Schultz.

    Parameters
    ----------
    path : str or bytes
        The path where to start counting. By default the current working
        directory will be used.

    recursive : bool
        To recurse or not to recurse. If recurse is False, only the files and
        directories in the directory given by ``path`` will be counted.

    hidden : bool
        Count hidden files and directories as well.

    quiet : bool
        Don't print errors to the screen. If True, the function will fail 
        quietly and not print any errors.

    Returns
    -------
    files_count : int
        Number of files counted.

    dir_count : int
        Number of directories counted.

    """
