Formic is about finding files, fast.
Formic uses globs. Match any character with ?, any word with
* or any subdirectory at any level with **.
For complex queries, use one or more include globs to
locate files, then refine the search with excludes. For example
find all source files with src/**/*.py and then exclude all files
used for testing using test*.
FileSets are optimized working on all includes and excludes simultaneously so searching for specific files is fast even in deeply nested directory trees
Install Formic in seconds using easy_install or pip.
You can use Formic from the command-line - see the Usage guide.
Formic can also be used from within another Python program using the FileSet class.
Formic is open source released under GPLv3.
