Module: Versioned Backups
模块: 版本备份
Credit: Mitch Chapman
Before overwriting an existing file, it is often desirable to make a backup. Example 4-1 emulates the behavior of Emacs by saving versioned backups. It's also compatible with the marshal module, so you can use versioned output files for output in marshal format. If you find other file-writing modules that, like marshal, type-test rather than using file-like objects polymorphically, the class supplied here will stand you in good stead.

When Emacs saves a file foo.txt, it first checks to see if foo.txt already exists. If it does, the current file contents are backed up. Emacs can be configured to use versioned backup files, so, for example, foo.txt might be backed up to foo.txt.~1~. If other versioned backups of the file already exist, Emacs saves to the next available version. For example, if the largest existing version number is 19, Emacs will save the new version to foo.txt.~20~. Emacs can also prompt you to delete old versions of your files. For example, if you save a file that has six backups, Emacs can be configured to delete all but the three newest backups.
Example 4-1 emulates the versioning backup behavior of Emacs. It saves backups with version numbers (e.g., backing up foo.txt to foo.txt.~n~ when the largest existing backup number is n-1. It also lets you specify how many old versions of a file to save. A value that is less than zero means not to delete any old versions.
The marshal module lets you marshal an object to a file by way of the dump function, but dump insists that the file object you provide actually be a Python file object, rather than any arbitrary object that conforms to the file-object interface. The versioned output file shown in this recipe provides an asFile method for compatibility with marshal.dump. In many (but, alas, far from all) cases, you can use this approach to use wrapped objects when a module type-tests and thus needs the unwrapped object, solving (or at least ameliorating) the type-testing issue mentioned in Recipe 5.9. Note that Example 4-1 can be seen as one of many uses of the automatic-delegation idiom mentioned there.
The only true solution to the problem of modules using type tests rather than Python's smooth, seamless polymorphism is to change those errant modules, but this can be hard in the case of errant modules that you did not write (particularly ones in Python's standard library).
