Can anyone decipher this code?

1) What language is this?

2) Can anyone give me a rundown of what's happening in the code? Thanks!

I am most likely massively wrong, but that looks like python a bit

Actually you're right, I noticed after I posted in another shot it does mention python.

Any ideas on what it's trying to do?

It would be helpful if you could show the entire program, instead of just lines 212-269.

Not possible, it's an ARG for Westworld. What I posted is all I got.

You and your Westworld, Deinen.

Yeah it's definitely python. It could be some sort of program made to find the size of a file? The last few strings at the end kinda look like this

getSize(fileobject):
fileobject.seek(0,2) # move the cursor to the end of the file
size = fileobject.tell()
return size

Looks like a lot of work for simply finding some sort of file size. I'm probably wrong though, I don't code that much.

Well I looked and saw it was Python. Didn't understand much else.

yes it is python, i can tell what a couple parts are, but otherwise i can't understand it. i know html, css and a couple others, but not python.

Looks like a Python script to analyze disk usage (du on nix*)

Would this be a part of an overall routine to recall specific files? Or, speculating, purely a scanning function?

Yes.

Actually after a second look it looks more like its running through directories in a couple different ways and saying how long each one took to execute. It looks almost like a benchmark of some sort but i could be wrong, i'm not well versed in Python this complex. It doesn't look like it modifies anything at least in this portion of the code.

Well, I found the source. Not sure if it means anything now.

This is correct. The main purpose of the code shown is to benchmark some functions that calculate the size of files/directories using a few different approaches.

Do you still need help deciphering it?
