help with python script

[TheGamingHD]

I want to make a python script for py2exe. i would like it to get the parent directory and all files in a the folder. I know i have to put it into a for loop but i don't know how to code it.

dataFiles = [["parentFolder/anySubdirectories",["parentFolder/anySubdirectories/myBackground.png"]], ["parentFolder/anySubdirectories",["parentFolder/anySubdirectories/myFile2.txt"]]] # and so on ...

I think @fizzlesticks might be able to help.

 

Never mind he has not been on for ages.

 

Oh, he is here. Hahah

 

Also, try to reformat it using the "code" button at the top of the textbox when editing your post

 

It will be much easier to read then.

I am not used to python on windows but I would look at the glob library (https://docs.python.org/3/library/glob.html) it has a argument to make it recursive so you dont have to make a recursive function your self.

 

You can ether loop it in a for file in glob('parentFolder/*', recursive=True) to get all the folders and files. or you can get all the files from every sub folder (I also see you want png files so I added that as-well) glob('parentFolder/*/*.{png,txt}') this should give you a nice list of files.

 

can the array be flat or do you want to keep the folder structure intact ?

 

If you need more help let me know your specific case and will write a small script for you to demonstrate.

After taking a better look at your requested array structure I wrote a small script that will give the output you desire.

(The code is not the most optimal and speedy but wrote it for clarity, more then anything else. so you can write your own)

import glob
import os.path

def directory_listing_recursive(path):
    files = []
    for item in glob.glob(path + '/*'):
        if os.path.isdir(item):
            files.append([item, directory_listing_recursive(item)])
        else:
            files.append(item)
    return files

print(directory_listing_recursive(os.path.realpath('./test')))

Tested with the following folder structure 

[arekana@arekanapro /var/code/python/playground/recursive]$ ls -lhR

-rw-r--r--  1 arekana  wheel   351B Apr 17 23:31 main.py

./test/sub2:
total 0
-rw-r--r--  1 arekana  wheel     0B Apr 17 23:15 file2_1.txt

it will give the following output

 

[['/private/var/code/python/playground/recursive/test/sub1', ['/private/var/code/python/playground/recursive/test/sub1/file1_1', ['/private/var/code/python/playground/recursive/test/sub1/sub1_1', ['/private/var/code/python/playground/recursive/test/sub1/sub1_1/file1_1_1.txt']], ['/private/var/code/python/playground/recursive/test/sub1/sub1_2', ['/private/var/code/python/playground/recursive/test/sub1/sub1_2/file1_2_1.txt']]]], ['/private/var/code/python/playground/recursive/test/sub2', ['/private/var/code/python/playground/recursive/test/sub2/file2_1.txt']]]

Although if your array structure does not matter to you then I still suggest using glob with the build-in recursive argument to do it for you as it a bit nicer.

 

If you require anymore help do not hesitate to ask.

I have tried using your code with my program and i am getting a value error 2.

After trying it my self

 

for subdir, files in folder_structure_intact_glob(os.path.realpath('./test')): print(subdir) print(files)

 

It seem to work, what version of python are you using ? 

Can you dump self.options.data_files to see if the array is still intact.

 

My only other guess could be that it might be windows (as mentioned don't know anything about python on windows or windows in general).

I am using python 3.4, here's the output:

@arekana After many hours of trying, I have got it to work but it adds the file twice?
