Sounds even clearer to me. +1

It's a bug, I'll look into it (when I find the time).

Re: [Python-Dev] A smarter shutil.copytree ?

2008-04-20 Thread Tarek Ziadé
I have submitted a patch for review here: http://bugs.python.org/issue2663

glob-style patterns or a callable (for complex cases) can be provided
to filter out files or directories.

I'm not a big fan of the sequence-or-callable argument. Why not just
make it a callable argument, and supply a utility function so that you
can write something like::

exclude_func = shutil.excluding_patterns('*.tmp', 'test_dir2')
shutil.copytree(src_dir, dst_dir, exclude=exclude_func)

?

Even if a glob pattern filter is considered useful enough to be worth 
special-casing, the glob capability should also be exposed via something 
like your excluding_patterns constructor and additionally as a function 
that can be called by another function intended for use as a callable 
argument.


If it is not, then doing something like "files matching these glob 
patterns except for those matching this non-glob-expressible condition and 
also those files matching this second non-glob-expressible condition" 
becomes painful because the glob part essentially needs to be 
re-implemented.

I wouldn't bet my life on that. __getitem__ overloading for all sorts
of nefarious purposes has quite a following. I'd prefer a message that
doesn't get into what x "is" but sticks to the point at hand, which is
that it doesn't support __getitem__.
