directory code

Manipulate files and directory easily with path.py (on pys60)

I really like Jason Orendorff's path.py.
So, I modify it a bit to use with pys60.
- don't load fnmatch, glob, codecs
- remove some functionalities and some docstrings
- match wildcard with regexp simplisticly

   1  
   2  #return fnmatch.fnmatch(self.name, pattern)
   3  
   4  # poor man's fnmatch
   5  pattern = pattern.replace('.', '\\.').replace('*','.*').replace('?','.')
   6  return re.match(pattern, self.name)

But most of it works nicely. Please report bugs in comments.
Download it here path.py.

Common directory tasks

   1  
   2  >>> import os
   3  >>> os.getcwd()
   4  'C:\\lang\\python23'
   5  >>> os.listdir('C:/lang')
   6  ['editplus', 'python23', 'perl', 'ironpy', 'java142', 'processing']
   7  >>> os.chdir('C:/')
   8  >>>

This is eqivalent to common task on command line
- Show current directory
- List content in a directory
- Change directory
