Description:
Extremely simple bit of code to remove a directory recursively.
Simply feed it the path of the top-level directory to remove, and off it goes.
As presented, there is no error-checking; failure at any point will stop the function and raise an IOError.
Source: Text Source
import os
def rm_rf(d):
for path in (os.path.join(d,f) for f in os.listdir(d)):
if os.path.isdir(path):
rm_rf(path)
else:
os.unlink(path)
os.rmdir(d)
Discussion:
I came across a need to do this in a regression test. The lack of error-checking was fine in this case, where the directory tree in question is just a bunch of stuff created in /tmp.
