Tracking Changes in Directories with Python

Tracking Changes in Directories with Python

An excellent API in python to track changes made in a directory.

Refer this link:


@ GIT
https://github.com/tsileo/dirtools

An example code taken from that site

from dirtools import Dir, DirState 
path="/"
d = Dir(path)
dir_state = DirState(d)

state_file = dir_state.to_json()

# Later... after some changes

dir_state = DirState.from_json(state_file)
dir_state2 = DirState(d)

changes = dir_state2 - dir_state
 
 
This creates a json file in the current working directory.
