Edit File: directory-contents.txt
Here's an example piece of code that creates some files and directories: .. code-block:: python import os def spew(path): with open(os.path.join(path, 'root.txt'), 'wb') as f: f.write(b'root output') os.mkdir(os.path.join(path, 'subdir')) with open(os.path.join(path, 'subdir', 'file.txt'), 'wb') as f: f.write(b'subdir output') os.mkdir(os.path.join(path, 'subdir', 'logs')) This function is used as follows: >>> spew(tempdir.path) This will create the following files and directories:: root.txt subdir/ subdir/file.txt subdir/logs/ .. -> expected_listing .. invisible-code-block: python # check the listing was as expected tempdir.compare(expected_listing.strip().split('\n'))
