A fun little in-memory file system.
This is a toy library, don't even think about using it in production!
The following code snippets show how to interact with the library:
import memfs
# Create a drive
drive = memfs.create('drive', 'MyDrive')
# Create a folder (must be inside a drive)
folder = memfs.create('folder', 'MyFolder', drive.path)
# Create a file (must be inside a drive/folder/zip)
file = memfs.create('file', 'MyFile', folder.path)
memfs.write_to_file(file.path, "The Lord of the Rings")
# Create a zip archive
zip = memfs.create('zip', 'MyZip', folder.path)
# Delete an item (recursively deletes any children)
memfs.delete(zip.path)
# Move an item
memfs.move(file.path, "{}\\{}".format(drive.path, file.name))
It is recommended to run the tests inside a virtual environment, installing the dependencies from the requirements.txt file:
mkvirtualenv memfs # Using virtualenvwrapper in this example pip install -r requirements.txt pytest
