             FileLabel

A 'FileLabel' is a 'Label' that uses the filesystem's naming scheme.

A 'FileLabel' is a 'Label' whose separator character is the operating system's file system separator character (typically '/' or '\'). These labels are not system-independent; there is no guarantee that 'FileLabel's will have the same meaning on different operating systems.

Join(self, *labels)

source code

Combine this label and the 'labels' into a single label.

'labels' -- A sequence of strings giving the components of the new label. All but the last are taken as directory names; the last is treated as a basename.

Overrides: label.Label.Join

Split(self)

source code

Split the label into a pair '(directory, basename)'.

returns -- A pair '(directory, basename)', each of which is a label.

It is always true that 'directory.join(basename)' will return a label equivalent to the original label.

Overrides: label.Label.Split

Basename(self)

source code

Return the basename for the label.

returns -- A string giving the basename for the label. The value returned for 'l.basename()' is always the same as 'l.split()[1]'.

Overrides: label.Label.Basename

Dirname(self)

source code

Return the directory name for the 'label'.

returns -- A string giving the directory name for the 'label'. The value returned for 'l.dirname()' is always the same as 'l.split()[0]'.

Overrides: label.Label.Dirname
