Python os.removedirs() Method
Python OS File/Directory Methods
Overview
The os.removedirs() method is used to recursively delete directories. Like rmdir(), if subfolders are successfully deleted, removedirs() only attempts their parent folders until an error is raised (which is basically ignored, because it generally means your folder is not empty).
Syntax
removedirs()The method syntax is as follows:
os.removedirs(path)
Parameters
path-- The directory path to be removed
Return Value
This method does not return a value.
Example
The following example demonstrates the use of the removedirs() method:
#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
import os, sys
# 列出目录
print "目录为: %s" %os.listdir(os.getcwd())
# 移除
os.removedirs("/test")
# 列出移除后的目录
print "移除后目录为 %s :" %os.listdir(os.getcwd())
The output of the above program is:
目录为: [ 'a1.txt','resume.doc','a3.py','test' ] 移除后目录为: [ 'a1.txt','resume.doc','a3.py' ]Other Extensions
