User experience matters! suggest matching files
Level: Intermediate (score: 3)
We love it when CLI or web apps take the extra mile to be more user friendly. In this Bite you will tweak the user experience of a function yourself.
Have you noticed how Django's migrate.py
helps you type in the right command?
$ python manage.py migrat Unknown command: 'migrat'. Did you mean migrate? Type 'manage.py help' for usage.
Using Python's difflib
this is actually not that hard to implement. Let's roll our own using another theme: file matching.
Complete the get_matching_files
function below. It takes a target directory Path
object and filter_str str
to match (case insensitive). If any files match exactly, return a list
with matches. If there is no exact match, see if there are closely matching files and return those. If no closely matching files either, return an empty list
.
Good luck and keep calm and code more Python!
