Functions

append_to_file(values, filename)	Append an iterable of strings to a file.
count_lines(filename)	param filename
dump_list_to_file(values, filename)	Write an iterable of strings to a file.
dump_tuples_to_files(values, filenames)	Write tuples to multiple files (1st tuple value ends up in 1st file, etc.).
ensure_directory_exists_and_is_empty(directory)	Create a directory if it does not exist already, and raise if not empty.
get_file_size_as_string(file)	Get the file size as a readable string.
is_path_creatable(pathname)	True if the current user has sufficient permissions to create the passed pathname; False otherwise.
is_path_exists_or_creatable(pathname)	True if the passed pathname is a valid pathname for the current OS _and_ either currently exists or is hypothetically creatable; False otherwise.
is_pathname_valid(pathname)	True if the passed pathname is a valid pathname for the current OS; False otherwise.
iterate_lines_from_file(filename)	param filename
iterate_tuples_from_files(filenames)	Read from several files at once, and put the values from the same lines numbers into tuples.
load_list_from_file(filename)	param filename
named_temporary_directory([delete])	Get the path for a temporary directory and create it.
named_temporary_path([delete])	Get the path for a temporary file or directory, without creating it (can be especially useful in tests).
paths_are_identical(*paths)	Whether paths, possibly given in a mix of absolute and relative formats, point to the same file.
raise_if_paths_are_identical(*paths)	Raise an exception if input and output paths point to the same file.
stable_shuffle(input_file, output_file, seed)	Shuffle a file in a deterministic order (the same seed always reorders files of the same number of lines identically).
