flametree

✓ import flametree

✗ from flametree import flametree

flametree is a module, not a class.

Open a local directory or zip archive, list contents, and write files.

import flametree # Work with local directory root = flametree.file_tree('.') # os.getcwd() for child in root.children: print(child.name) # Create files zip_target = flametree.file_tree('example.zip', 'w') # write to zip zip_target._file('hello.txt').write('Hello, world!') zip_target.close()

Debug

Known issues

gotchaWhen creating a zip file, a directory with the same name as the zip may be created if you don't set extension properly.

fix

Use the 'archive' type explicitly: flametree.file_tree('archive.zip', mode='w')

affects: all

gotchaThe API uses underscores in method names (e.g., _file, _dir) which may clash with Python naming conventions.

fix

Use the underscore-prefixed methods as intended; they are the public API.

affects: all

breakingVersion 0.2.0 changed how zip files are handled; previously the API was different.

fix

Check the CHANGELOG or migration guide on GitHub for changes.

affects: >=0.2.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

AttributeError: module 'flametree' has no attribute 'file_tree'

Importing incorrectly, e.g., from flametree import flametree instead of import flametree.

fix

Use 'import flametree' then 'flametree.file_tree(...)'.

TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable

Trying to call a file tree object that wasn't properly opened, or missing close.

fix

Ensure you open with mode='w' for writing and call .close() when done.
