overview

FTP-Servers provide a wide range of responses to the LIST command. ftpparsemodule allows you to parse most ftp-servers LIST responses found in the wild. It does so by using Dan Bernsteins ftpparse package and making it accessible to Python.

See the pydoc output for further enlightment.

example

      >>> import ftpparse
      >>> ls = ['-rw-r--r--   1 root     other        531 Jan 29 03:26 README',
      ...       'dr-xr-xr-x   2 root     other        512 Apr  8  1994 etc', 
      ...       'Total of 11 Files, 10966 Blocks.']
      >>> ftpparse.ftpparse(ls)
      [('README', 531, 1, 980738760, 2, 0, 1, None, 0, 0), ('etc', 512, 1, 765763200, 3, 1, 0, None, 0, 0), None]
      >>> for x in ftpparse.ftpparse(ls):
      ...   if x and x[ftpparse.MTIMETYPE] == ftpparse.MTIME_REMOTEMINUTE:
      ...     print x
      ... 
      ('README', 531, 1, 980738760, 2, 0, 1, None, 0, 0)

status

changes

HEADS UP: interface change in 0.93: ftpparse() returns now a list of 10-element tupels. The additional element contains an integer telling if the filename can be considered a symbolic link on Unix.
0.93: addition of __version__ to detect versionnumber, improved unittests
0.92 has an improved support for building RPMs via distutils thanks to Hartmut Goebel
0.9 had some actual time dependent unittests - removed in 0.91
0.9 was leaking memory - fixed in 0.91

redistribution

If you think you need a license for anything you might think of this as beeing unter a "BSD Style License".

notes

Fredrik Lundh has done a similar effort with a more object-oriented interface.
If you like to be informed about new Versions subscribe to ftpparse on freshmeat.
