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.

Hey mate,

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

Hey man,

That's pretty cool, I would love to when you can (if you can) see the GitHub to help me see how apps in python are made. Else I wish you all the best with the project my friend :)

Thank you for the green to!!

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.
