OOpen

Object-Oriented file and path handling.

The std lib file and path options aren't very pythonic.

I should be able to perform basic tasks directly on the file.

Status:

In development. The public API is not formally documented and may change at anytime. Please pin the version you're using to avoid breakage.

Semantic Versioning

I will commit to not breaking the public API within major versions. (Non breaking API starts at 1.0.0)

Example usage:

>>> from oopen import OOpen
>>> oofile = OOpen('example_file.py')

Retrieve and set the name of a file:

>>> oofile.name
'example_file.py'
>>> oofile.name = 'test.txt'
>>> oofile.name
'test.txt'
>>> oofile.path
'/Users/ajhekman/Projects/oopen/oopen/test.txt'
>>> oofile.location
'/Users/ajhekman/Projects/oopen/oopen/'

Retrieve other file information:

>>> oofile.sha1 # all of the hashes within hashlib are supported (md5 to sha 512)
'e90296612f91b8adf498884b20c8356113c83a73'
>>> oofile.modified_time
datetime.datetime(2013, 1, 14, 9, 10, 31) # << file times are represented as native datetime objects
