## hscommon.conflict

When you have to deal with names that have to be unique and can conflict together, you can use this module that deals with conflicts by prepending unique numbers in `[]` brackets to the name.

hscommon.conflict.get_conflicted_name(other_names: List[str], name: str) → str

  Returns name with a `[000]` number in front of it.

  The number between brackets depends on how many conlicted filenames there already are in other_names.

hscommon.conflict.get_unconflicted_name(name: str) → str

  Returns `name` without `[]` brackets.

  Brackets which, of course, might have been added by func:get_conflicted_name.

hscommon.conflict.is_conflicted(name: str) → bool

  Returns whether `name` is prepended with a bracketed number.

hscommon.conflict.smart_copy(source_path: Path, dest_path: Path) → None

  Copies `source_path` to `dest_path`, recursively and with conflict resolution.

hscommon.conflict.smart_move(source_path: Path, dest_path: Path) → None

  Same as `smart_copy()`, but it moves files instead.
