How would I loop over subdirectories in a directory, returning them like this:
dirlist = {
"area": ["square","circle"],
"line": ["line"]
}
There's no need for fancy stuff, because I'm sure that there's only a subdirectory and a sub-subdirectory, nothing past that. There are multiple subdirectories and multiple sub-subdirectories for each subdirectory.
The actual walk through the directories works as you have coded it. If you replace the contents of the inner loop with a simple
import os rootdir = 'C:/Users/sid/Desktop/test' for subdir, dirs, files in os.walk(rootdir): for file in files: print os.path.join(subdir, file)
If you still get errors when running the above, please provide the error message.
Updated for Python3
import os rootdir = 'C:/Users/sid/Desktop/test' for subdir, dirs, files in os.walk(rootdir): for file in files: print(os.path.join(subdir, file))
Other half is simple, you don't find a file as given in the link, you juts record the names of the subdirs in arr and the main subdir in as a key in dict, then to make the arr the value of key.
