This is something I worked on a few years ago. As a part of my companies personal project time, a yearly occurrence they called "Off The Grid", I was part of a team project where the goal was to add external files to a JIRA ticket.

JIRA is used to track EVERYTHING in the company. It was the first time I used it, and I have used it in a few other places since.

This is the python script I hobbled together.

outputFile = filetype + "output.txt"

try:

os.remove(outputFile)

except OSError:

pass

f = open(outputFile,'w')

print >> f, "Looking in %s" % location

for dirpath, dirnames, files in os.walk(location):

if not files:

print dirpath, 'is empty'

exit()

entriesf = (os.path.join(location, fn) for fn in os.listdir(location))

entries = ((os.stat(path), path) for path in entriesf)

entries = ((stat[ST_CTIME], path)

check_file = re.compile(fileKey)

I claim some responsibility for it, mostly by hacking together a lot of python and doing a lot of TDD as I built out the functions.
