Looping through a directory on the web and displaying its contents (files and other directories) via
- by al jaffe
In the same vein as http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2593399/process-a-set-of-files-from-a-source-directory-to-a-destination-directory-in-pyth I'm wondering if it is possible to create a function that when given a web directory it will list out the files in said directory. Something like...
files[]
for file in urllib.listdir(dir):
if file.isdir:
# handle this as directory
else:
# handle as file
I assume I would need to use the urllib library, but there doesn't seem to be an easy way of doing this, that I've seen at least.
