Error “‘git’ is not recognized as an internal or external command”

You may not have set your PATH correctly to point at your Git installation. You need to add the following paths to PATH: C:\Program Files\Git\bin\ C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\ And check that these paths are correct. You may have Git installed on a different drive, or under Program Files (x86). Correct the paths if necessary. Modifying PATH … Read more

How to use to find files recursively?

There are a couple of ways: pathlib.Path().rglob() Use pathlib.Path().rglob() from the pathlib module, which was introduced in Python 3.5. from pathlib import Path for path in Path(‘src’).rglob(‘*.c’): print(path.name) glob.glob() If you don’t want to use pathlib, use glob.glob(): from glob import glob for filename in glob(‘src/**/*.c’, recursive=True): print(filename) For cases where matching files beginning with … Read more

How do I create a directory, and any missing parent directories?

On Python ≥ 3.5, use pathlib.Path.mkdir: from pathlib import Path Path(“/my/directory”).mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True) For older versions of Python, I see two answers with good qualities, each with a small flaw, so I will give my take on it: Try os.path.exists, and consider os.makedirs for the creation. import os if not os.path.exists(directory): os.makedirs(directory) As noted in comments … Read more

Import paths – the right way?

What is the entry point for your program? Usually the entry point for a program will be at the root of the project. Since it is at the root, all the modules within the root will be importable, provided there is an __init__.py file in them. So, using your example: my_project/ main.py package1/ __init__.py module1 … Read more

Use wildcard with os.path.isfile()

glob is what you need. >>> import glob >>> glob.glob(‘*.rar’) # all rar files within the directory, in this case the current working one os.path.isfile() returns True if a path is an existing regular file. So that is used for checking whether a file already exists and doesn’t support wildcards. glob does.
