Johannes Gijsbers 7db385eef5 Rewrite rmtree using os.walk to fix bug #1025127:
The shutils.rmtree() implementation uses an excessive amount of memory when
deleting large directory hierarchies. Before actually deleting any files, it
builds up a list of (function, filename) tuples for all the files that it is
going to remove.

Johannes Gijsbers f9a098efe1 Catch OSError raised when src or dst argument to os.path.samefile doesn't
exist.

Johannes Gijsbers 46f1459860 Raise an exception when src and dst refer to the same file via a hard link or a
symbolic link (bug #851123 / patch #854853, thanks Gregory Ball).

Guido van Rossum 4a2ccdf781 - Bug #981530: Fix UnboundLocalError in shutil.rmtree(). This affects
the documented behavior: the function passed to the onerror()
  handler can now also be os.listdir.

[I could've sworn I checked this in, but apparently I didn't, or it
got lost???]

Brett Cannon 1c3fa18be7 shutil.move() will raise an exception when trying to move a directory into
itself.

Closes bug #919012  .  Thanks Johannes Gijsbers.

Neal Norwitz a4c93b68f1 Fix SF bug #691276, shutil.copytree documentation bug
Also use True/False instead of 1/0 for symlink flag.

Barry Warsaw 234d9a9eb3 rmtree(): Make implementation agree with documentation (both latex and
docstring).  Even if ignore_errors was true, an exception would occur
if path didn't exist.

Just van Rossum 66d16baf71 - squashed bare except in rmtree()
- improved readability of rmtree; removed silly apply()

Raymond Hettinger 2b9bfb33ff Added new move() function to __all__. 2002-10-30 05:44:50 +00:00
Martin v. Löwis e9ce0b0fea Patch #448038: Add move(). Report errors from copytree as in shutil.Error. 2002-10-07 13:23:24 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 57e79459fa shutil.copyfile(src,dst) was clobbering the file when the src and dst were
the same.   Added check to verify the two names are not the same.  Does not
check the actual files to see if there is a symbolic link.

Closes SF bug 490165 and Tzot's patch 604600.

Walter Dörwald 294bbf3a59 Replace obsolete stat module constants with
equivalent attributes in a few more spots.

This closes SF patch http://www.python.org/sf/562373

Raymond Hettinger f13eb55d59 Replace boolean test with is None. 2002-06-02 00:40:05 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 0de65807e6 bunch more __all__ lists
also modified check_all function to suppress all warnings since they aren't
relevant to what this test is doing (allows quiet checking of regsub, for
instance)

Fred Drake 5fa38862bb Fred Gansevles <gansevle@cs.utwente.nl>:
The copytree function doesn't pass the symlinks parameter in recursicve
calls

Guido van Rossum e7b146fb3b The third and final doc-string sweep by Ka-Ping Yee.
The attached patches update the standard library so that all modules
have docstrings beginning with one-line summaries.

A new docstring was added to formatter.  The docstring for os.py
was updated to mention nt, os2, ce in addition to posix, dos, mac.

Guido van Rossum 959fa01dc3 Typo in comment (on Mac, it's the *resource* fork that's not copied,
the data fork *is* copied).

Guido van Rossum 83c03e2d94 Add import sys, needed by reference to sys.exc_info() in rmtree().
Discovered by Mitch Chapman.
1999-02-23 23:07:51 +00:00
Guido van Rossum e1bf7e8c1d Change the order of the utime() and the chmod() call in copystat().
This doesn't make a bit of difference on Unix, but apparently on
Windows NT you need write permission before you can set the utime...
1999-01-14 00:42:00 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d832f9e425 Fix append() calls with more than 1 argument. 1998-10-07 13:18:17 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 96372a2657 ST_MODE should be ST_MTIME in utime call in copystat. Thanks to Mike Orr. 1998-10-02 03:16:08 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 45e2fbc2e7 Mass check-in after untabifying all files that need it. 1998-03-26 21:13:24 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d76732918a Added rmtree(), to recursively remove a directory tree.
Code by David Ascher (docstring by me).
1998-02-06 21:38:09 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9d0a3dfa3d Transformed comments to doc strings.
Added symlinks option to copytree.

Guido van Rossum 5980845bd5 Add feature to copy(), copy2(): dst may be a directory.
Remove unneeded check for '.' / '..' from copytree().
Add some comments.
1997-04-29 14:06:05 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 277206b08e Improvements to copyfile(): open the files in binary mode, and close
them in a finally clause.
