Python Dict help. - CodeAssassin - May 5, 2020

Hello,

After a little help or understanding (granted this is day 2 of me learning python)

Problem.
I would like to do something simple... List files and folders in a (list or dict)

I would like it as shown in the tree below after searching.

Dir-
*Subfolder-
Files-
Files-
Dir-
*SubFolder-
**File-
Dir-
*Subfolder
*Subfolder

Currently its Dir, sub, file (repeat).

I would like to know how to do this in the best way. I assumed a nested directory would be the one but really not sure how to achieve this. I will continue to learn on my own but any help would be greatly appreciated here.

Thank you

Code 
#!/usr/bin/python

import os

allfiles = []

dict = {}

Dirs = {}

Sub = {}

Fle = {}

print(dict)

def checkfiles():

    global allfiles

    root = os.path.expanduser("~")

    root = os.path.join(root, "Documents")

    print ("Root:", root)

    for dirlist, subdirlist, filelist in os.walk(root):

        allfiles.append(dirlist)

        for subs in subdirlist:

            allfiles.append(subs)

            for files in filelist:

                allfiles.append(files)

list = checkfiles()

print("Dictionary: ", allfiles)

I know i need to make a Dict = {} and not [] (list)
I have removed the dict parts and left the working list for you to help me out a bit easier.

I'm just not sure how to add the right files or Subfolders to the right dict here.

Thank you in advance.

I think this may be what i want?: https://thispointer.com/python-how-to-get-list-of-files-in-directory-and-sub-directories/

Hey mate,

Isn't what you want achieved in the link you've posted? Or I have not understood the question?

No your totally right I was way over complicating it...

Sure, will share once finished. It's pretty basic. I am using wxPython for GUI which is kinda ugly but our professor wants us to use it.
