If I have a table representing paths and sizes of files/subdirectories inside directory A, how can I detect changes recursively in directory A so that I could update my table efficiently?
To rename files in Python, use the rename() method of the os module. The parameters of the rename() method are the source address (old name) and the destination address (new name).
To filter and list the files according to their names, we need to use “fnmatch. fnmatch()” and “os. listdir()” functions with name filtering regex patterns. You may find an example of filtering and listing files according to their names in Python.
I use watchdog, which is a python library for just this kind of thing. If you want to know how they're doing it, you can dive into the source code of the project.
