Python: os模块实例详解

import os

# I use jupyter notebook to create some file
!touch foo.txt
!echo Hello > foo.txt
!cat foo.txt

Hello

# rename file
os.rename('foo.txt','bar.txt')
!cat bar.txt

Hello

# remove file

# Directory tree generator.
# For each dir in the dir tree rooted at top (including top
# itself, but excluding '.' and '..'), yields a 3-tuple
# dirpath, dirnames, filenames
for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk('.'):

    break # only one level needed, or just use listdir

# make a dir, one level, no duplication allowed
