Sortipy is a Python package designed to help you organize files in a directory by sorting them based on their file extensions.
You can install Sortipy using pip:
pip install sortipy
from sortipy import sortipy
# Sort files in a directory without specifing extensions
sort_everything = sortipy.sort("path/to/your/directory")
# Sort files in a directory and specify extensions to consider
sort_specific_extensions = sortipy.sort("path/to/your/directory", extensions=["pdf", "txt"])
# Print the sorted results
print(sort_everything)
path
(str): The path to the directory containing files to be sorted.extensions
(List[str], optional): A list of file extensions to consider during sorting. Defaults to an empty list. If not provided, Sortipy considers all file extensions in the directory.
A dictionary containing sorted files grouped by their extensions. Keys represent file extensions, and values are lists of file names.
Suppose you have a directory "C:/Users/username/Downloads" with the following files:
- report.pdf
- notes.txt
- picture.jpg
- document.docx
- presentation.pptx
You can sort the PDF and TXT files with Sortipy:
from sortipy import sortipy
# Sort PDF and TXT files in the Downloads directory
results = sortipy.sort("C:/Users/username/Downloads", extensions=["pdf", "txt"])
# Print the sorted results
print(results)
Output:
{
'pdf': ['report'],
'txt': ['notes']
}
Now, the PDF and TXT files are moved to their respective folders within the Downloads directory.
By default, Sortipy considers all file extensions in the directory for sorting. If you want to do this, you don't need to pass the extensions list. Only the directory will work just fine.
