os | index /sw/lib/python2.5/os.py Module Docs

`OS routines for Mac, NT, or Posix depending on what system we're on.
This exports:
- all functions from posix, nt, os2, mac, or ce, e.g. unlink, stat, etc.
- os.path is one of the modules posixpath, ntpath, or macpath
- os.name is 'posix', 'nt', 'os2', 'mac', 'ce' or 'riscos'
- os.curdir is a string representing the current directory ('.' or ':')
- os.pardir is a string representing the parent directory ('..' or '::')
- os.sep is the (or a most common) pathname separator ('/' or ':' or '\\')
- os.extsep is the extension separator ('.' or '/')
- os.altsep is the alternate pathname separator (None or '/')
- os.pathsep is the component separator used in $PATH etc
- os.linesep is the line separator in text files ('\r' or '\n' or '\r\n')
- os.defpath is the default search path for executables
- os.devnull is the file path of the null device ('/dev/null', etc.)
Programs that import and use 'os' stand a better chance of being
portable between different platforms. Of course, they must then
only use functions that are defined by all platforms (e.g., unlink
and opendir), and leave all pathname manipulation to os.path
(e.g., split and join).`

  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
  (e.g., via 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, or to impose a specific order of visiting. Modifying
  dirnames when topdown is false is ineffective, since the directories in
  dirnames have already been generated by the time dirnames itself is
  generated.
  By default errors from the os.listdir() call are ignored. If
  optional arg '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.
  Caution: if you pass a relative pathname for top, don't change the
  current working directory between resumptions of walk. walk never
  changes the current directory, and assumes that the client doesn't
  either.
  Example:
  from os.path import join, getsize
  for root, dirs, files in 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`

write(...)
  `write(fd, string) -> byteswritten
  Write a string to a file descriptor.`
