I'd like to read folders and files structure inside a specified folder path on the P4 depot without syncing it. Is it possible?
To get subfolders of specified depot path one should use this code
p4.run("dirs", path+'*')
The result will be a list of single-item dictionaries
[{'dir': '//Depot/path/dirname1'}, {'dir': '//Depot/path/dirname2'}]
In order to get all files contained within specified depot path one should use:
p4.run("files", path+'*')
The result will be a list of dictionaries one for each file:
[{'rev': '1', 'time': '1465999632', 'action': 'add', 'type': 'text', 'depotFile': '//Depot/path/dirname1/filename.txt', 'change': '999999'}]
Also please note that specified path must end with a slash /
Thanks to @SilentMonk @BryanPendleton for giving me hints
