本文实例讲述了python删除过期文件的方法。分享给大家供大家参考。具体实现方法如下：

# remove all jpeg image files of an expired modification date = mtime# you could also use creation date (ctime) or last access date (atime)# os.stat(filename) returns (mode, ino, dev, nlink, uid, gid, size, atime, mtime, ctime)# tested with Python24 vegaseat 6/7/2005import os, glob, timeroot = 'D:\\Vacation\\Poland2003\\' # one specific folder#root = 'D:\\Vacation\\*' # or all the subfolders too# expiration date in the format YYYY-MM-DDxDate = '2003-12-31'print '-'*50for folder in glob.glob(root): print folder # here .jpg image files, but could be .txt files or whatever for image in glob.glob(folder + '/*.jpg'): # retrieves the stats for the current jpeg image file # the tuple element at index 8 is the last-modified-date stats = os.stat(image) # put the two dates into matching format lastmodDate = time.localtime(stats[8]) expDate = time.strptime(xDate, '%Y-%m-%d') print image, time.strftime("%m/%d/%y", lastmodDate) # check if image-last-modified-date is outdated if expDate > lastmodDate: try: print 'Removing', image, time.strftime("(older than %m/%d/%y)", expDate) #os.remove(image) # commented out for testing except OSError: print 'Could not remove', image
