Sorting files by date
I found this directory checking code on the web and modified it a little, so it would print out added files. There's a buoy that sends me readings every now-and-then, but sometimes the connection is开发者_Python百科 lost and instead of one file it sends multiple files. I need the program to sort them for me by date created. Is there a way to do this?
import os, time
path_to_watch = 'c://Users//seplema//Documents//arvuti'
before = dict([(f, None) for f in os.listdir (path_to_watch)])
while 1:
after = dict([(f, None) for f in os.listdir (path_to_watch)])
added = [f for f in after if not f in before]
if before == after:
1==1
else:
if len(added)==1:
print added[0]
else:
for i in range (0,len(added)):
print added[i]
time.sleep(10)
before = after
added.sort(key=lambda x: os.stat(os.path.join(path_to_watch, x)).st_mtime)
Will sort the added
list by the last modified time of the files
Use st_ctime
instaed of st_mtime
for creation time on Windows (it doesn't mean that on other platforms).
