The code accept a path to file-system's directory and find dublicate files.
The program is represented by the module dublicates.py.
Module dublicates.py contains the following functions:
get_args()- parses script command-line argumentsget_files_info()- accepts the path to file-system directory and returns info about representing files and files-sizeget_dublicates()- accepts dictionary and returns dict having paths-count > 1print_result()- prints info about finding files
The program uses these libs from Python Standart Library:
argparse
os
join, getsize, exists, basename from os.path
defaultdict from collections How in works:
- The program reads the first command-line argument(path to directory)
- parsing directory's content using
get_path_content()-function - checking for dublicate files using
get_dublicates()- function - prints info about dublicate_files using
print_result()-function
Example of script launch on Linux, Python 3.5:
$ python dublicates.py <path to dir>
in the console output you will see something like this:
In the directory 'C:\Devman\' was found dublicate files:
________________________________________________________________________________
Dublicate file "bars_new.py" exists in the following folders:
C:\Devman
C:\Devman\3_bars
C:\Devman\5_lang_frequencyIf haven't dublicate files in the directory, you will see such message:
The are no dublicate files in the 'C:\Devman\' directory!
In the cases below, the program will not run:
The program check command-line arguments and if it is wrong, you will see the warning message error: unrecognized arguments and usage-message.
If the the directory doesnt't present in the file-system, you will see the warning message:
No such directory <directory> !
If the input-value is not a directory, you will see the warning message:
The <dir_name> is not a directory!
