Here is one way to do it:
import os, glob
for filename in glob.glob('.loc k*'):
os.unlink(filen ame)
Alternatively, you could also do this:
import os
os.system('rm .lock*')

Another way is to execute the linux command directly :)

Note that that can get dangerous with shell expansions:
e.g. (don't run in a directory with files you want to keep!)
import os
open("--help", "w")
os.system("rm *help")
will actually run "rm --help", printing the help for rm rather than
removing the file named "--help". There are a lot of security
implications to allowing this kind of shell expansion of commands.
The system-call method with os.unlink is easier to get right.

What did you try? I'm curious to know what you tried that didn't work,
because I can't think of any obvious solution to this that would not just
work.
You did try to solve this yourself before sending a message around the
world, didn't you?

This code should tell me that the file located at

deletes it due to permissions error.
However, upon checking the file properties I find this:

The below code does what I need it to do, but I thought that using
something like ext = os.path.splitext(fname) and then searching ext
for '.mp3' would be a much more accurate approach to solving this
problem. Could someone demonstrate how to search ext for a specific
string? This script works great for deleting illegal music on user
machines ;)
Thanks!!!

What's the best way to do cross-platform hidden file detection? I want
to do something like weed-out the files that should be 'hidden' from
os.listdir() (which would be files that start with '.' under Unix,
files that have the hidden attribute set on windows, and whatever it is
that makes Mac files hidden). Is there a util or lib that does this
for me?
Thanks,
Gary

Once again, I thought my class method deleteZip() would do the trick,
but it never deletes any .zip* file found in a directory:

be inherited by all listing classes to allow for

Hi,
I have some database files (.MDF, .LDF,...) on the server. When I try
to delete them, the warning "Cannot delete file: There has been a
sharing violation. The source or destination file may be in use."
appears.
Since I am new to the environment I don't know where the files come
from and where they might be used.

I am using VB.NET 2005.
When I try to delete a folder that has files underneath it, it gave me "the

f = New IO.DirectoryInfo("C:\myfolder")
If f.Exists Then
f.Delete() --error "the directory is not empty"
End If
How can I delete a folder with files underneath it ? Thank you.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
