:mod:`modulegraph.zipio` --- Read-only filesystem access ======================================================== .. module:: modulegraph.zipio :synopsis: Read-only filesystem access with ZIP support This module contains a number of functions that mirror functions found in :mod:`os` and :mod:`os.path`, but have support for data inside zipfiles as well as regular filesystem objects. The *path* argument of all functions below can refer to an object on the filesystem, but can also refer to an entry inside a zipfile. In the latter case, a prefix of *path* will be the name of zipfile while the rest refers to an object in that zipfile. As an example, when ``somepath/mydata.zip`` is a zipfile the path ``somepath/mydata.zip/somefile.txt`` will refer to ``somefile.txt`` inside the zipfile. .. function:: open(path[, mode]) Open a file, like :func:`the built-in open function <__builtin__.open>`. The *mode* defaults to ``"r"`` and must be either ``"r"`` or ``"rb"``. .. function:: listdir(path) List the contents of a directory, like :func:`os.listdir`. .. function:: isfile(path) Returns true if *path* exists and refers to a file. Raises IOError when *path* doesn't exist at all. Based on :func:`os.path.isfile` .. function:: isdir(path) Returns true if *path* exists and refers to a directory. Raises IOError when *path* doesn't exist at all. Based on :func:`os.path.isdir` .. function:: islink(path) Returns true if *path* exists and refers to a symbolic link. Raises IOError when *path* doesn't exist at all. Based on :func:`os.path.islink` .. function:: readlink(path) Returns the contents of a symbolic link, like :func:`os.readlink`. .. function:: getmtime(path) Returns the last modifiction time of a file or directory, like :func:`os.path.getmtime`. .. function:: getmode(path) Returns the UNIX file mode for a file or directory, like the *st_mode* attribute in the result of :func:`os.stat`, but excluding the file type.
