hscommon.conflict

When you have to deal with names that have to be unique and can conflict together, you can use this module that deals with conflicts by prepending unique numbers in [] brackets to the name.

hscommon.conflict.get_conflicted_name(other_names: List[str], name: str) → str

Returns name with a [000] number in front of it.

The number between brackets depends on how many conlicted filenames there already are in other_names.

hscommon.conflict.get_unconflicted_name(name: str) → str

Returns name without [] brackets.

Brackets which, of course, might have been added by func:get_conflicted_name.

hscommon.conflict.is_conflicted(name: str) → bool

Returns whether name is prepended with a bracketed number.

hscommon.conflict.smart_copy(source_path: pathlib.Path, dest_path: pathlib.Path) → None

Copies source_path to dest_path, recursively and with conflict resolution.

hscommon.conflict.smart_move(source_path: pathlib.Path, dest_path: pathlib.Path) → None

Same as smart_copy(), but it moves files instead.
