def file_path_from_db_id(db_id, pattern="blah_%d.png", top="/path/to/imgs"): | |
"""Return file path /top/yyy/xx/blah_zzzxxyyy.png for db_id zzzxxyyy. | |
The idea is to hash into 1k top level dirs, 000 - 999, then 100 | |
second level dirs, 00-99, so that the following database ids | |
result in the associated file paths: | |
1234567 /path/to/imgs/567/34/blah_1234567.png | |
432 /path/to/imgs/432/00/blah_432.png | |
29847 /path/to/imgs/847/29/blah_29847.png | |
1432 /path/to/imgs/432/01/blah_1432.png | |
Notice that changing pattern to pattern="blah_%09d.png" and | |
top="" would result in: | |
1234567 567/34/blah_001234567.png | |
432 432/00/blah_000000432.png | |
29847 847/29/blah_000029847.png | |
1432 432/01/blah_000001432.png | |
In general, this will give a decent spread for up to 100 million images. | |
If you have more than 100 million images, or your database ids are | |
higher, then this function is easily modified. | |

s = '%09d' % db_id | |
