Delete multiple files using file extention

[snippsat]

Can write own function with itertools chain() to make glob take unlimited arguments.

from glob import iglob
from itertools import chain
import os

def multi_glob(*args):
    return chain.from_iterable(iglob(pattern) for pattern in args)

for filename in multi_glob('*.txt', '*.bmp', '*jpg'):
         print(filename)
         #os.remove(filename)

The python equivalent to the Linux command line :
rm *.log *.err

So can make the same i call it py_rm,using my favorite command line tool Click.

# py_rm.py
from glob import iglob
from itertools import chain
import os
import click

def iter_glob(*args):
    return chain.from_iterable(iglob(pattern) for pattern in args)

@click.command()
@click.argument('arg', nargs=-1)
def rm(arg):
    for filename in iter_glob(*arg):
         click.echo(filename)
         #os.remove(filename)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    rm()

Test from command line.

Output:
C:\code\mod
λ py_rm.py *.txt *.bmp *.jpg
bar.txt
spam.bmp
test.bmp
egg.jpg
