Changed in version 2.3: On Windows NT/2k/XP and Unix, if path is a Unicode object, the result will be a list of Unicode objects..

Availability: Unix.
FIFOs are pipes that can be accessed like regular files. FIFOs exist until they are deleted (for example with os.unlink()). Generally, FIFOs are used as rendezvous between ``client'' and ``server'' type processes: the server opens the FIFO for reading, and the client opens it for writing. Note that mkfifo() doesn't open the FIFO -- it just creates the rendezvous point.

0777 (octal). This function does not properly handle UNC
paths (only relevant on Windows systems; Universal Naming Convention
paths are those that use the `\\host\path' syntax).

pathconf_names dictionary. For configuration variables not
included in that mapping, passing an integer for name is also
accepted.
Availability: Unix.
If name is a string and is not known, ValueError is
raised. If a specific value for name is not supported by the
host system, even if it is included in pathconf_names, an
OSError is raised with errno.EINVAL for the
error number.

Note: this function can fail with the new directory structure made if you lack permissions needed to remove the leaf directory or file. New in version 1.5.2.

Changed in version 2.3: If stat_float_times returns true, the time values are floats, measuring seconds. Fractions of a second may be reported if the system supports that. On Mac OS, the times are always floats. See stat_float_times for further discussion. .
On some Unix systems (such as Linux), the following attributes may also be available: st_blocks (number of blocks allocated for file), st_blksize (filesystem blocksize), st_rdev (type of device if an inode device).
On Mac OS systems, the following attributes may also be available: st_rsize, st_creator, st_type.
On RISCOS systems, the following attributes are also available: st_ftype (file type), st_attrs (attributes), st_obtype (object type).
For backward compatibility, the return value of stat() is also accessible as a tuple of at least 10 integers giving the most important (and portable) members of the stat structure, in the order st_mode, st_ino, st_dev, st_nlink, st_uid, st_gid, st_size, st_atime, st_mtime, st_ctime. More items may be added at the end by some implementations. The standard module statdefines functions and constants that are useful for extracting information from a stat structure. (On Windows, some items are filled with dummy values.) Availability: Macintosh, Unix, Windows.
Changed in version 2.2: Added access to values as attributes of the returned object.
| [newvalue]) |
For compatibility with older Python versions, accessing stat_result as a tuple always returns integers. For compatibility with Python 2.2, accessing the time stamps by field name also returns integers. Applications that want to determine the fractions of a second in a time stamp can use this function to have time stamps represented as floats. Whether they will actually observe non-zero fractions depends on the system.
Future Python releases will change the default of this setting; applications that cannot deal with floating point time stamps can then use this function to turn the feature off.
It is recommended that this setting is only changed at program startup time in the __main__ module; libraries should never change this setting. If an application uses a library that works incorrectly if floating point time stamps are processed, this application should turn the feature off until the library has been corrected.
| path) |
For backward compatibility, the return value is also accessible as a tuple whose values correspond to the attributes, in the order given above. The standard module statvfsdefines constants that are useful for extracting information from a statvfs structure when accessing it as a sequence; this remains useful when writing code that needs to work with versions of Python that don't support accessing the fields as attributes.
Changed in version 2.2: Added access to values as attributes of the returned object.
| src, dst) |
| [dir[, prefix]]) |
None. If given and not
None, prefix is used to provide a short prefix to the
filename. Applications are responsible for properly creating and
managing files created using paths returned by tempnam();
no automatic cleanup is provided.
On Unix, the environment variable TMPDIR overrides
dir, while on Windows the TMP is used. The specific
behavior of this function depends on the C library implementation;
some aspects are underspecified in system documentation.
Warning:
Use of tempnam() is vulnerable to symlink attacks;
consider using tmpfile() instead.
Availability: Unix, Windows.

| path) |
| path, times) |
None, then the file's access and modified
times are set to the current time. Otherwise, times must be a
2-tuple of numbers, of the form (atime, mtime)
which is used to set the access and modified times, respectively.
Changed in version 2.0:
Added support for None for times.
Availability: Macintosh, Unix, Windows.
top[, topdown=True
[, onerror=None]]) |
(dirpath, dirnames, filenames).
dirpath is a string, the path to the directory. dirnames is
a list of the names of the subdirectories in dirpath
(excluding '.' and '..'). filenames is a list of
the names of the non-directory files in dirpath. Note that the
names in the lists contain no path components. To get a full
path (which begins with top) to a file or directory in
dirpath, do os.path.join(dirpath, name).
If optional argument topdown is true or not specified, the triple for a directory is generated before the triples for any of its subdirectories (directories are generated top down). If topdown is false, the triple for a directory is generated after the triples for all of its subdirectories (directories are generated bottom up).
When topdown is true, the caller can modify the dirnames list in-place (perhaps using del or slice assignment), and walk() will only recurse into the subdirectories whose names remain in dirnames; this can be used to prune the search, impose a specific order of visiting, or even to inform walk() about directories the caller creates or renames before it resumes walk() again. Modifying dirnames when topdown is false is ineffective, because in bottom-up mode the directories in dirnames are generated before dirnames itself is generated.
By default errors from the os.listdir() call are ignored. If
optional argument onerror is specified, it should be a function;
it will be called with one argument, an os.error instance. It can
report the error to continue with the walk, or raise the exception
to abort the walk. Note that the filename is available as the
filename attribute of the exception object.
os.path.islink(path), and invoke walk(path)
on each directly.
This example displays the number of bytes taken by non-directory files in each directory under the starting directory, except that it doesn't look under any CVS subdirectory:
import os
from os.path import join, getsize
for root, dirs, files in os.walk('python/Lib/email'):
print root, "consumes",
print sum([getsize(join(root, name)) for name in files]),
print "bytes in", len(files), "non-directory files"
if 'CVS' in dirs:
dirs.remove('CVS') # don't visit CVS directories
In the next example, walking the tree bottom up is essential: rmdir() doesn't allow deleting a directory before the directory is empty:
import os
from os.path import join
# Delete everything reachable from the directory named in 'top'.
# CAUTION: This is dangerous! For example, if top == '/', it
# could delete all your disk files.
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(top, topdown=False):
for name in files:
os.remove(join(root, name))
for name in dirs:
os.rmdir(join(root, name))
New in version 2.3.
