Python implements backup file instances

This article illustrates how Python implements backup files, which is a very useful technique. Share with you for your reference. Specific methods are as follows:

This instance mainly realizes reads a task file, according to the specified task parameter automatic backup.

Task file format: (note that comments after semicolons are not supported)

[task] ;  A mission begins 
dir=h:/Project ;  Specify the directory to backup 
recusive=1 ;  Whether recursive subdirectories 
suffix=h|cpp|hpp|c|user|filters|vcxproj|sln|css|gif|html|bmp|png|lib|dsw|dsp|htm|html|ico|ini|jpg|rc|vssscc ;  Specifies the extension for the backup 
exclude=0 ;  Specifies whether to back up the extension specified by the above argument or to exclude the specified extension 
zip=Project.zip ;  File path name after backup 

The python code is as follows:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*- 
import sys
import os
import zipfile
class Task:
 #dir str directory
 #bsub BOOL include subdirectory
 #sfx str postsuffix ,sepeated by '|'
 #ecld BOOL include or execlude the postsuffix sfx
 def __init__(self,dir,bsub,sfx,ecld,zip):
 self.dir = dir
 self.bsub = bsub
 self.suffix = sfx.split("|")
 self.exclude = ecld
 self.zip = zip
