python linux编程与window编程_用Python在Windows下模仿Linux的|which.exe|程序

简介

用Python在Windows下模仿Linux的|which.exe|程序。

这个程序会从Windows环境变量|PATH|里列出的所有目录中查找"可执行文件"。

在Linux下|which.exe|通过文件的"可执行"属性来判断文件是否可执行不同。

在Windows下我们通过扩展名来判断。

如果一个文件的扩展名是|.exe|， |.bat|，或者任何在Windows环境变量|PATHEXT|中列出的扩展名(比如我们自己添加的|.py|)，则认为这个文件为"可执行文件"。这个定义也符合Windows的CMD对"可执行文件"的定义。

源码

闲话少说，先上源码。实现的具体分析见源码中注释及源码后的分析。

""" Given |program| which is the name or path of a program, find a list of

executable paths of the program.

#// Arguments

program: the name or path of a program. No need to include extension.

return: a list of executable paths of the program.

#// What an "executable" means?

An executable means an existing file whose extension is |.exe|, |.bat|, or

any other extensions listed in Windows environment variable |PATHEXT|.

#// What is the algorithm used to find all the executable paths?

Use each of dir paths listed in Windows environment variable |PATH| as parent dir.

Use each of extensions listed in Windows environment variable |PATHEXT| as extension.

Synthesize all the possible paths by combining each parent dir, the |program| given,

and each extension. (Empty parent dir and empty extension are two special cases.
