ListPath class for simply dealing with a list of Path objects
Test for a mixed bag of directories and files
The result should be a flattened list. Note that (empty) the directory notebooks will be generated.
% xin = [['.',['..'],'a b',['.','demo.ipynb',['notebooks/demo.ipynb']]],'hello']
% xout = ListPath(xin)
% print(f'{xin} ->\n {xout}')
[['.', ['..'], 'a b', ['.', 'demo.ipynb', ['notebooks/demo.ipynb']]], 'hello'] ->
[PosixPath('/Users/plewis/Documents/GitHub/listfile'), PosixPath('/Users/plewis/Documents/GitHub'), PosixPath('/Users/plewis/Documents/GitHub/listfile/a b'), PosixPath('/Users/plewis/Documents/GitHub/listfile'), PosixPath('/Users/plewis/Documents/GitHub/listfile/demo.ipynb'), PosixPath('/Users/plewis/Documents/GitHub/listfile/notebooks/demo.ipynb'), PosixPath('/Users/plewis/Documents/GitHub/listfile/hello')]
% xout.report()
info: read : [ True True False True False False False]
info: write : [ True True True True True True True]
info: isdir : [ True True False True False False False]
info: isfile: [False False True False True True True]
info: exists: [ True True False True False False False]
Give it a string. We want this maintained as a string, not split into chars (as with normal list)
% xin = 'hello world'
% xout = ListPath(xin)
% print(f'{xin} -> {xout}')
hello world -> [PosixPath('/Users/plewis/Documents/GitHub/listfile/hello world')]
% xout.report()
info: read : [False]
info: write : [ True]
info: isdir : [False]
info: isfile: [ True]
info: exists: [False]
Remove duplicates test
% xin = ['hello world',['.','./hello world'],'.']
% xout = ListPath(xin,unique=True)
% print(f'{xin} ->\n {xout}')
['hello world', ['.', './hello world'], '.'] ->
[PosixPath('/Users/plewis/Documents/GitHub/listfile'), PosixPath('/Users/plewis/Documents/GitHub/listfile/hello world')]
% xout.report()
info: read : [ True False]
info: write : [ True True]
info: isdir : [ True False]
info: isfile: [False True]
info: exists: [ True False]
Test write permission and use of name= kwarg
% xin = ['/tmp','/doesnt exist/x']
% xout = ListPath(xin,name='tester.dat')
% print(f'{xin} ->\n {xout}')
['/tmp', '/doesnt exist/x'] ->
[PosixPath('/private/tmp/tester.dat'), PosixPath('/doesnt exist/x')]
% xout.report()
info: read : [False False]
info: write : [ True False]
info: isdir : [False False]
info: isfile: [ True False]
info: exists: [False False]
