Das os-Modul bietet Dutzende von Funktionen für eine Interaktion mit dem Betriebssystem:
import os
pwd = os.getcwd() # Gebe den aktuellen Arbeitsordner aus - (c)urrent (w)orking (d)irectory
pwd
'/home/nik/Public/SE2016FS02/Skript/chapter/Standard Bibliothek 1_x'
os.chdir('AddOns') # Ändern des aktuellen Arbeitsordners - (c)hange (d)irectory
os.mkdir('Test') # Erstellen eines neuen Ordnes im aktuellen Arbeitsordner - (m)a(k)e (dir)ectory
os.chdir(pwd) # Zurückkehren zum vorherigen Arbeitsordner
os.system('rmdir AddOns/Test') # Löschen des Ordners Test über einen Aufruf des Betriebssystem Shell-Kommandos rmdir

import os sollte anstelle von from os import * verwendet werden. Damit wird verhindert, dass os.open() die Builtin-Funktion open() überschreibt. os.open() ist für systemnahe Ein-Ausgabe-Operationen gedacht und nicht für normale Ein-Ausgabe-Operationen.
Die Builtin-Funktionen dir() und help() sind als interaktive Hilfsmittel für den Umgang mit großen Modulen wie os sehr nützlich:

help(os)
Help on module os: NAME os - OS routines for NT or Posix depending on what system we're on. MODULE REFERENCE https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/os The following documentation is automatically generated from the Python source files. It may be incomplete, incorrect or include features that are considered implementation detail and may vary between Python implementations. When in doubt, consult the module reference at the location listed above. DESCRIPTION This exports: - all functions from posix or nt, e.g. unlink, stat, etc. - os.path is either posixpath or ntpath - os.name is either 'posix' or 'nt' - os.curdir is a string representing the current directory (always '.') - os.pardir is a string representing the parent directory (always '..') - os.sep is the (or a most common) pathname separator ('/' or '\\') - os.extsep is the extension separator (always '.') - os.altsep is the alternate pathname separator (None or '/') - os.pathsep is the component separator used in $PATH etc - os.linesep is the line separator in text files ('\r' or '\n' or '\r\n') - os.defpath is the default search path for executables - os.devnull is the file path of the null device ('/dev/null', etc.) Programs that import and use 'os' stand a better chance of being portable between different platforms. Of course, they must then only use functions that are defined by all platforms (e.g., unlink and opendir), and leave all pathname manipulation to os.path (e.g., split and join).

FUNCTIONS WCOREDUMP(status, /) Return True if the process returning status was dumped to a core file. WEXITSTATUS(status) Return the process return code from status. WIFCONTINUED(status) Return True if a particular process was continued from a job control stop. Return True if the process returning status was continued from a job control stop. WIFEXITED(status) Return True if the process returning status exited via the exit() system call. WIFSIGNALED(status) Return True if the process returning status was terminated by a signal. WIFSTOPPED(status) Return True if the process returning status was stopped. WSTOPSIG(status) Return the signal that stopped the process that provided the status value. WTERMSIG(status) Return the signal that terminated the process that provided the status value. _exit(status) Exit to the system with specified status, without normal exit processing. abort() Abort the interpreter immediately. This function 'dumps core' or otherwise fails in the hardest way possible on the hosting operating system. This function never returns. access(path, mode, *, dir_fd=None, effective_ids=False, follow_symlinks=True) Use the real uid/gid to test for access to a path. path Path to be tested; can be string or bytes mode Operating-system mode bitfield. Can be F_OK to test existence, or the inclusive-OR of R_OK, W_OK, and X_OK. dir_fd If not None, it should be a file descriptor open to a directory, and path should be relative; path will then be relative to that directory. effective_ids If True, access will use the effective uid/gid instead of the real uid/gid. follow_symlinks If False, and the last element of the path is a symbolic link, access will examine the symbolic link itself instead of the file the link points to. dir_fd, effective_ids, and follow_symlinks may not be implemented on your platform. If they are unavailable, using them will raise a NotImplementedError. Note that most operations will use the effective uid/gid, therefore this routine can be used in a suid/sgid environment to test if the invoking user has the specified access to the path. chdir(path) Change the current working directory to the specified path. path may always be specified as a string. On some platforms, path may also be specified as an open file descriptor. If this functionality is unavailable, using it raises an exception. chmod(path, mode, *, dir_fd=None, follow_symlinks=True) Change the access permissions of a file. path Path to be modified. May always be specified as a str or bytes. On some platforms, path may also be specified as an open file descriptor. If this functionality is unavailable, using it raises an exception. mode Operating-system mode bitfield. dir_fd If not None, it should be a file descriptor open to a directory, and path should be relative; path will then be relative to that directory. follow_symlinks If False, and the last element of the path is a symbolic link, chmod will modify the symbolic link itself instead of the file the link points to. It is an error to use dir_fd or follow_symlinks when specifying path as an open file descriptor. dir_fd and follow_symlinks may not be implemented on your platform. If they are unavailable, using them will raise a NotImplementedError. chown(path, uid, gid, *, dir_fd=None, follow_symlinks=True) Change the owner and group id of path to the numeric uid and gid.\ path Path to be examined; can be string, bytes, or open-file-descriptor int. dir_fd If not None, it should be a file descriptor open to a directory, and path should be relative; path will then be relative to that directory. follow_symlinks If False, and the last element of the path is a symbolic link, stat will examine the symbolic link itself instead of the file the link points to. path may always be specified as a string. On some platforms, path may also be specified as an open file descriptor. If this functionality is unavailable, using it raises an exception. If dir_fd is not None, it should be a file descriptor open to a directory, and path should be relative; path will then be relative to that directory. If follow_symlinks is False, and the last element of the path is a symbolic link, chown will modify the symbolic link itself instead of the file the link points to. It is an error to use dir_fd or follow_symlinks when specifying path as an open file descriptor. dir_fd and follow_symlinks may not be implemented on your platform. If they are unavailable, using them will raise a NotImplementedError. chroot(path) Change root directory to path. close(fd) Close a file descriptor. closerange(fd_low, fd_high, /) Closes all file descriptors in [fd_low, fd_high), ignoring errors. confstr(name, /) Return a string-valued system configuration variable. cpu_count() Return the number of CPUs in the system; return None if indeterminable.

Equivalent to os.chdir(fd). fchmod(fd, mode) Change the access permissions of the file given by file descriptor fd. Equivalent to os.chmod(fd, mode). fchown(fd, uid, gid) Change the owner and group id of the file specified by file descriptor. Equivalent to os.chown(fd, uid, gid). fdatasync(fd) Force write of fd to disk without forcing update of metadata. fdopen(fd, *args, **kwargs) # Supply os.fdopen() fork() Fork a child process. Return 0 to child process and PID of child to parent process. forkpty() Fork a new process with a new pseudo-terminal as controlling tty. Returns a tuple of (pid, master_fd). Like fork(), return pid of 0 to the child process, and pid of child to the parent process. To both, return fd of newly opened pseudo-terminal. fpathconf(fd, name, /) Return the configuration limit name for the file descriptor fd. If there is no limit, return -1. fsdecode(filename) Decode filename (an os.PathLike, bytes, or str) from the filesystem encoding with 'surrogateescape' error handler, return str unchanged. On Windows, use 'strict' error handler if the file system encoding is 'mbcs' (which is the default encoding). fsencode(filename) Encode filename (an os.PathLike, bytes, or str) to the filesystem encoding with 'surrogateescape' error handler, return bytes unchanged. On Windows, use 'strict' error handler if the file system encoding is 'mbcs' (which is the default encoding). fspath(path) Return the file system path representation of the object. If the object is str or bytes, then allow it to pass through as-is. If the object defines __fspath__(), then return the result of that method. All other types raise a TypeError. fstat(fd) Perform a stat system call on the given file descriptor. Like stat(), but for an open file descriptor. Equivalent to os.stat(fd). fstatvfs(fd, /) Perform an fstatvfs system call on the given fd. Equivalent to statvfs(fd). fsync(fd) Force write of fd to disk. ftruncate(fd, length, /) Truncate a file, specified by file descriptor, to a specific length. fwalk(top='.', topdown=True, onerror=None, *, follow_symlinks=False, dir_fd=None) Directory tree generator. This behaves exactly like walk(), except that it yields a 4-tuple dirpath, dirnames, filenames, dirfd `dirpath`, `dirnames` and `filenames` are identical to walk() output, and `dirfd` is a file descriptor referring to the directory `dirpath`. The advantage of fwalk() over walk() is that it's safe against symlink races (when follow_symlinks is False). If dir_fd is not None, it should be a file descriptor open to a directory, and top should be relative; top will then be relative to that directory. (dir_fd is always supported for fwalk.) Caution: Since fwalk() yields file descriptors, those are only valid until the next iteration step, so you should dup() them if you want to keep them for a longer period. Example: import os for root, dirs, files, rootfd in os.fwalk('python/Lib/email'): print(root, "consumes", end="") print(sum([os.stat(name, dir_fd=rootfd).st_size for name in files]), end="") print("bytes in", len(files), "non-directory files") if 'CVS' in dirs: dirs.remove('CVS') # don't visit CVS directories get_blocking(...) get_blocking(fd) -> bool Get the blocking mode of the file descriptor: False if the O_NONBLOCK flag is set, True if the flag is cleared. get_exec_path(env=None) Returns the sequence of directories that will be searched for the named executable (similar to a shell) when launching a process. *env* must be an environment variable dict or None. If *env* is None, os.environ will be used. get_inheritable(fd, /) Get the close-on-exe flag of the specified file descriptor. get_terminal_size(...) Return the size of the terminal window as (columns, lines). The optional argument fd (default standard output) specifies which file descriptor should be queried. If the file descriptor is not connected to a terminal, an OSError is thrown. This function will only be defined if an implementation is available for this system. shutil.get_terminal_size is the high-level function which should normally be used, os.get_terminal_size is the low-level implementation. getcwd() Return a unicode string representing the current working directory. getcwdb() Return a bytes string representing the current working directory. getegid() Return the current process's effective group id. getenv(key, default=None) Get an environment variable, return None if it doesn't exist.

If follow_symlinks is False, and the last element of the path is a symbolic link, getxattr will examine the symbolic link itself instead of the file the link points to. initgroups(...) initgroups(username, gid) -> None Call the system initgroups() to initialize the group access list with all of the groups of which the specified username is a member, plus the specified group id. isatty(fd, /) Return True if the fd is connected to a terminal. Return True if the file descriptor is an open file descriptor connected to the slave end of a terminal. kill(pid, signal, /) Kill a process with a signal. killpg(pgid, signal, /) Kill a process group with a signal. lchown(path, uid, gid) Change the owner and group id of path to the numeric uid and gid.

Equivalent to os.chown(path, uid, gid, follow_symlinks=False). link(src, dst, *, src_dir_fd=None, dst_dir_fd=None, follow_symlinks=True) Create a hard link to a file. If either src_dir_fd or dst_dir_fd is not None, it should be a file descriptor open to a directory, and the respective path string (src or dst) should be relative; the path will then be relative to that directory. If follow_symlinks is False, and the last element of src is a symbolic link, link will create a link to the symbolic link itself instead of the file the link points to. src_dir_fd, dst_dir_fd, and follow_symlinks may not be implemented on your platform. If they are unavailable, using them will raise a NotImplementedError. listdir(path=None) Return a list containing the names of the files in the directory. path can be specified as either str or bytes. If path is bytes, the filenames returned will also be bytes; in all other circumstances the filenames returned will be str. If path is None, uses the path='.'. On some platforms, path may also be specified as an open file descriptor;\ the file descriptor must refer to a directory. If this functionality is unavailable, using it raises NotImplementedError. The list is in arbitrary order. It does not include the special entries '.' and '..' even if they are present in the directory. listxattr(path=None, *, follow_symlinks=True) Return a list of extended attributes on path. path may be either None, a string, or an open file descriptor. if path is None, listxattr will examine the current directory. If follow_symlinks is False, and the last element of the path is a symbolic link, listxattr will examine the symbolic link itself instead of the file the link points to. lockf(fd, command, length, /) Apply, test or remove a POSIX lock on an open file descriptor. fd An open file descriptor. command One of F_LOCK, F_TLOCK, F_ULOCK or F_TEST. length The number of bytes to lock, starting at the current position. lseek(fd, position, how, /) Set the position of a file descriptor. Return the new position. Return the new cursor position in number of bytes relative to the beginning of the file. lstat(path, *, dir_fd=None) Perform a stat system call on the given path, without following symbolic links.

Equivalent to stat(path, follow_symlinks=False). major(device, /) Extracts a device major number from a raw device number. makedev(major, minor, /) Composes a raw device number from the major and minor device numbers. makedirs(name, mode=511, exist_ok=False) makedirs(name [, mode=0o777][, exist_ok=False]) Super-mkdir; create a leaf directory and all intermediate ones. Works like mkdir, except that any intermediate path segment (not just the rightmost) will be created if it does not exist. If the target directory already exists, raise an OSError if exist_ok is False. Otherwise no exception is raised. This is recursive. minor(device, /) Extracts a device minor number from a raw device number. mkdir(path, mode=511, *, dir_fd=None) Create a directory. If dir_fd is not None, it should be a file descriptor open to a directory, and path should be relative; path will then be relative to that directory. dir_fd may not be implemented on your platform. If it is unavailable, using it will raise a NotImplementedError. The mode argument is ignored on Windows. mkfifo(path, mode=438, *, dir_fd=None) Create a "fifo" (a POSIX named pipe). If dir_fd is not None, it should be a file descriptor open to a directory, and path should be relative; path will then be relative to that directory. dir_fd may not be implemented on your platform. If it is unavailable, using it will raise a NotImplementedError. mknod(path, mode=384, device=0, *, dir_fd=None) Create a node in the file system. Create a node in the file system (file, device special file or named pipe) at path. mode specifies both the permissions to use and the type of node to be created, being combined (bitwise OR) with one of S_IFREG, S_IFCHR, S_IFBLK, and S_IFIFO. If S_IFCHR or S_IFBLK is set on mode, device defines the newly created device special file (probably using os.makedev()). Otherwise device is ignored. If dir_fd is not None, it should be a file descriptor open to a directory, and path should be relative; path will then be relative to that directory. dir_fd may not be implemented on your platform. If it is unavailable, using it will raise a NotImplementedError. nice(increment, /) Add increment to the priority of process and return the new priority. open(path, flags, mode=511, *, dir_fd=None) Open a file for low level IO. Returns a file descriptor (integer). If dir_fd is not None, it should be a file descriptor open to a directory, and path should be relative; path will then be relative to that directory. dir_fd may not be implemented on your platform. If it is unavailable, using it will raise a NotImplementedError. openpty() Open a pseudo-terminal. Return a tuple of (master_fd, slave_fd) containing open file descriptors for both the master and slave ends. pathconf(path, name) Return the configuration limit name for the file or directory path. If there is no limit, return -1. On some platforms, path may also be specified as an open file descriptor. If this functionality is unavailable, using it raises an exception. pipe() Create a pipe. Returns a tuple of two file descriptors: (read_fd, write_fd) popen(cmd, mode='r', buffering=-1) # Supply os.popen() posix_fadvise(fd, offset, length, advice, /) Announce an intention to access data in a specific pattern. Announce an intention to access data in a specific pattern, thus allowing the kernel to make optimizations. The advice applies to the region of the file specified by fd starting at offset and continuing for length bytes. advice is one of POSIX_FADV_NORMAL, POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL, POSIX_FADV_RANDOM, POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE, POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED, or POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED. posix_fallocate(fd, offset, length, /) Ensure a file has allocated at least a particular number of bytes on disk. Ensure that the file specified by fd encompasses a range of bytes starting at offset bytes from the beginning and continuing for length bytes. pread(fd, length, offset, /) Read a number of bytes from a file descriptor starting at a particular offset.

Returns a bytes object. readlink(...) readlink(path, *, dir_fd=None) -> path Return a string representing the path to which the symbolic link points. If dir_fd is not None, it should be a file descriptor open to a directory, and path should be relative; path will then be relative to that directory. dir_fd may not be implemented on your platform. If it is unavailable, using it will raise a NotImplementedError. readv(fd, buffers, /) Read from a file descriptor fd into an iterable of buffers. The buffers should be mutable buffers accepting bytes. readv will transfer data into each buffer until it is full and then move on to the next buffer in the sequence to hold the rest of the data. readv returns the total number of bytes read, which may be less than the total capacity of all the buffers. remove(path, *, dir_fd=None) Remove a file (same as unlink()). If dir_fd is not None, it should be a file descriptor open to a directory, and path should be relative; path will then be relative to that directory. dir_fd may not be implemented on your platform. If it is unavailable, using it will raise a NotImplementedError. removedirs(name) removedirs(name) Super-rmdir; remove a leaf directory and all empty intermediate ones. Works like rmdir except that, if the leaf directory is successfully removed, directories corresponding to rightmost path segments will be pruned away until either the whole path is consumed or an error occurs. Errors during this latter phase are ignored -- they generally mean that a directory was not empty. removexattr(path, attribute, *, follow_symlinks=True) Remove extended attribute attribute on path. path may be either a string or an open file descriptor. If follow_symlinks is False, and the last element of the path is a symbolic link, removexattr will modify the symbolic link itself instead of the file the link points to. rename(src, dst, *, src_dir_fd=None, dst_dir_fd=None) Rename a file or directory. If either src_dir_fd or dst_dir_fd is not None, it should be a file descriptor open to a directory, and the respective path string (src or dst) should be relative; the path will then be relative to that directory. src_dir_fd and dst_dir_fd, may not be implemented on your platform. If they are unavailable, using them will raise a NotImplementedError. renames(old, new) renames(old, new) Super-rename; create directories as necessary and delete any left empty. Works like rename, except creation of any intermediate directories needed to make the new pathname good is attempted first. After the rename, directories corresponding to rightmost path segments of the old name will be pruned until either the whole path is consumed or a nonempty directory is found. Note: this function can fail with the new directory structure made if you lack permissions needed to unlink the leaf directory or file. replace(src, dst, *, src_dir_fd=None, dst_dir_fd=None) Rename a file or directory, overwriting the destination. If either src_dir_fd or dst_dir_fd is not None, it should be a file descriptor open to a directory, and the respective path string (src or dst) should be relative; the path will then be relative to that directory. src_dir_fd and dst_dir_fd, may not be implemented on your platform. If they are unavailable, using them will raise a NotImplementedError." rmdir(path, *, dir_fd=None) Remove a directory. If dir_fd is not None, it should be a file descriptor open to a directory, and path should be relative; path will then be relative to that directory. dir_fd may not be implemented on your platform.

If they are unavailable, using them will raise a NotImplementedError. It's an error to use dir_fd or follow_symlinks when specifying path as an open file descriptor. stat_float_times(...) stat_float_times([newval]) -> oldval Determine whether os.[lf]stat represents time stamps as float objects. If value is True, future calls to stat() return floats; if it is False, future calls return ints. If value is omitted, return the current setting. statvfs(path) Perform a statvfs system call on the given path. path may always be specified as a string. On some platforms, path may also be specified as an open file descriptor. If this functionality is unavailable, using it raises an exception. strerror(code, /) Translate an error code to a message string. symlink(src, dst, target_is_directory=False, *, dir_fd=None) Create a symbolic link pointing to src named dst. target_is_directory is required on Windows if the target is to be interpreted as a directory. (On Windows, symlink requires Windows 6.0 or greater, and raises a NotImplementedError otherwise.) target_is_directory is ignored on non-Windows platforms. If dir_fd is not None, it should be a file descriptor open to a directory, and path should be relative; path will then be relative to that directory. dir_fd may not be implemented on your platform. If it is unavailable, using it will raise a NotImplementedError. sync() Force write of everything to disk. sysconf(name, /) Return an integer-valued system configuration variable. system(command) Execute the command in a subshell. tcgetpgrp(fd, /) Return the process group associated with the terminal specified by fd. tcsetpgrp(fd, pgid, /) Set the process group associated with the terminal specified by fd. times() Return a collection containing process timing information. The object returned behaves like a named tuple with these fields: (utime, stime, cutime, cstime, elapsed_time) All fields are floating point numbers. truncate(path, length) Truncate a file, specified by path, to a specific length. On some platforms, path may also be specified as an open file descriptor. If this functionality is unavailable, using it raises an exception. ttyname(fd, /) Return the name of the terminal device connected to 'fd'. fd Integer file descriptor handle. umask(mask, /) Set the current numeric umask and return the previous umask. uname() Return an object identifying the current operating system. The object behaves like a named tuple with the following fields: (sysname, nodename, release, version, machine) unlink(path, *, dir_fd=None) Remove a file (same as remove()). If dir_fd is not None, it should be a file descriptor open to a directory, and path should be relative; path will then be relative to that directory. dir_fd may not be implemented on your platform.

On some platforms, path may also be specified as an open file descriptor. If this functionality is unavailable, using it raises an exception. If times is not None, it must be a tuple (atime, mtime); atime and mtime should be expressed as float seconds since the epoch. If ns is specified, it must be a tuple (atime_ns, mtime_ns); atime_ns and mtime_ns should be expressed as integer nanoseconds since the epoch. If times is None and ns is unspecified, utime uses the current time. Specifying tuples for both times and ns is an error. If dir_fd is not None, it should be a file descriptor open to a directory, and path should be relative; path will then be relative to that directory. If follow_symlinks is False, and the last element of the path is a symbolic link, utime will modify the symbolic link itself instead of the file the link points to. It is an error to use dir_fd or follow_symlinks when specifying path as an open file descriptor. dir_fd and follow_symlinks may not be available on your platform. If they are unavailable, using them will raise a NotImplementedError. wait() Wait for completion of a child process.

Returns either waitid_result or None if WNOHANG is specified and there are no children in a waitable state. waitpid(pid, options, /) Wait for completion of a given child process. Returns a tuple of information regarding the child process: (pid, status) The options argument is ignored on Windows. walk(top, topdown=True, onerror=None, followlinks=False) Directory tree generator. For each directory in the directory tree rooted at top (including top itself, but excluding '.' and '..'), yields a 3-tuple dirpath, dirnames, filenames dirpath is a string, the path to the directory. dirnames is a list of the names of the subdirectories in dirpath (excluding '.' and '..'). filenames is a list of the names of the non-directory files in dirpath. Note that the names in the lists are just names, with no path components. To get a full path (which begins with top) to a file or directory in dirpath, do os.path.join(dirpath, name). If optional arg 'topdown' is true or not specified, the triple for a directory is generated before the triples for any of its subdirectories (directories are generated top down). If topdown is false, the triple for a directory is generated after the triples for all of its subdirectories (directories are generated bottom up). When topdown is true, the caller can modify the dirnames list in-place (e.g., via del or slice assignment), and walk will only recurse into the subdirectories whose names remain in dirnames; this can be used to prune the search, or to impose a specific order of visiting. Modifying dirnames when topdown is false is ineffective, since the directories in dirnames have already been generated by the time dirnames itself is generated. No matter the value of topdown, the list of subdirectories is retrieved before the tuples for the directory and its subdirectories are generated. By default errors from the os.scandir() call are ignored. If optional arg 'onerror' is specified, it should be a function; it will be called with one argument, an OSError instance. It can report the error to continue with the walk, or raise the exception to abort the walk. Note that the filename is available as the filename attribute of the exception object. By default, os.walk does not follow symbolic links to subdirectories on systems that support them. In order to get this functionality, set the optional argument 'followlinks' to true. Caution: if you pass a relative pathname for top, don't change the current working directory between resumptions of walk. walk never changes the current directory, and assumes that the client doesn't either. Example: import os from os.path import join, getsize for root, dirs, files in os.walk('python/Lib/email'): print(root, "consumes", end="") print(sum([getsize(join(root, name)) for name in files]), end="") print("bytes in", len(files), "non-directory files") if 'CVS' in dirs: dirs.remove('CVS') # don't visit CVS directories write(fd, data, /) Write a bytes object to a file descriptor. writev(fd, buffers, /) Iterate over buffers, and write the contents of each to a file descriptor. Returns the total number of bytes written. buffers must be a sequence of bytes-like objects.

shutil - Datei- und Verzeichnisverwaltungsaufgaben¶
Für alltägliche Datei- und Verzeichnisverwaltungsaufgaben bietet jedoch das Modul shutil eine einfacher zu bedienende Schnittstelle auf höherer Ebene:
import shutil
shutil.copyfile('Betriebssystem Werkzeuge.ipynb', 'Test.ipynb')
shutil.move('Test.ipynb', 'AddOns/')
'AddOns/Test.ipynb'
os.remove("AddOns/Test.ipynb")
Dateisuche¶
Das Modul glob bietet eine Funktion zur Suche von Dateien in Verzeichnissen:
import glob
glob.glob('AddOns/*.ipynb')
['AddOns/Links.ipynb']
Befehlszeilenargumente¶
Gebräuchliche Python Skripte müssen häufig Befehlszeilenargumente verarbeiten. Diese Argumente werden im argv-Attribut des sys-Moduls als Liste gespeichert. Zum Beispiel ergibt sich folgende Ausgabe, wenn das Python-Skript demo.py die Argumente eins zwei drei aus der Befehlszeile erhält:
%%writefile test.py
import sys
print(sys.argv)
Writing test.py
!python test.py eins 2 drei 4
['test.py', 'eins', '2', 'drei', '4']
os.remove("test.py")
Weitere Module zur Befehlszeilenverarbeitung¶
Das Modul getopt verarbeitet sys.argv mit den Konventionen der Unix Funktion getopt().
Eine leistungsfähigere und flexiblere der Befehlszeilenverarbeitung wird durch das Modul argparse bereitgestellt.
Fehlerausgabe Umlenkung (Redirection) und Programmterminierung¶
Das Modul sys hat auch Attribute für stdin, stdout und stderr. Letzteres eignet sich zum Ausgeben von Warnungen und Fehlermeldungen, um sie auch dann sichtbar zu machen, wenn stdout umgeleitet wurde:
sys.stderr.write('Warnung, die Log-Datei wurde nicht gefunden - es wurde eine neue angelegt\n')
Warnung, die Log-Datei wurde nicht gefunden - es wurde eine neue angelegt
Der direkteste Weg, ein Skript zu beenden, ist, sys.exit() aufzurufen.

Modul sys
Der folgende Inhalt ist in der Datei test.py gegeben:
import sys
sys.stdout.write(str(dict((a,b) for a,b in enumerate(sys.argv))))
sys.stdout.write("Ende")
Die Datei test.py wird nun aufgerufen
python test.py "wurde mit den Argumenten" 1 zwei 3 aufgerufen
Welches Ergebnis zeigt der obige Aufruf ?
