Et enkelt script for å pakke ut mine komprimerte logfiler. Scriptet finner alle "tar.gz" filer under en spesifisert mappe. Hver fil blir pakket opp, og innholdet blir skrevet (lagt til) en samlet logfil.

#!/usr/bin/python
import os
import fnmatch
import tarfile
import sys # use sys.exit(0) for debugging


root_path = "C:\\Users\\andre\\Desktop\\compressedlogs\\"
matching_files = "fe_access_andynor_secure"
access_log = "%s%s.log" % (root_path, matching_files)
count = 0

def open_compressed(fname):
    if (fname.endswith("tar.gz")):
        tar = tarfile.open(fname, "r:gz")
        for member in tar.getmembers():
            # the archive is assumed to only contain one compressed apache log file
            f=tar.extractfile(member)
            content=f.read()
            append_to_file(access_log, content)
            #print content
        tar.close()

def append_to_file(fname, content):
    with open(fname, "a") as myfile:
        myfile.write(content)

for root, dir, files in os.walk(root_path):
    for item in fnmatch.filter(files, "*"):
        if matching_files in item:
            full_path = ("%s\%s") % (root, item)
            #print full_path
            open_compressed(full_path)
            count += 1

print "processed %s days of log files" % count
