filefind(filename: str, path_dirs=None) -> str
This iterates through a sequence of paths looking for a file and returns the full, absolute path of the first occurrence of the file. If no set of path dirs is given, the filename is tested as is, after running through expandvars
and expanduser
. Thus a simple call:
filefind('myfile.txt')
will find the file in the current working dir, but:
filefind('~/myfile.txt')
Will find the file in the users home directory. This function does not automatically try any paths, such as the cwd or the user's home directory.
The filename to look for.
The sequence of paths to look for the file in. If None, the filename need to be absolute or be in the cwd. If a string, the string is put into a sequence and the searched. If a sequence, walk through each element and join with filename
, calling expandvars
and expanduser
before testing for existence.
returns absolute path to file.
Find a file by looking through a sequence of paths.
Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.
Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)
SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.
All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
