I want to be able to make python print everything in my C drive. I have figured out this to print whats on the first "layer" of the drive,
def filespotter():
import os
path = 'C:/'
dirs = os.listdir( path )
for file in dirs:
print(file)
but I want it to go into the other folders and print what is in every other folder.
Disclaimer os.walk is just fine, I'm here to provide a easier solution.
If you're using python 3.5 or above, you can use glob.glob with '**' and recursive=True
For example: glob.glob(r'C:\**', recursive=True)
Please note that getting the entire file list of C:\ drive can take a lot of time.
If you don't need the entire list at the same time, glob.iglob is a reasonable choice. The usage is the same, except that you get an iterator instead of a list.
To print everything under C:\
for filename in glob.iglob(r'C:\**', recursive=True):
print(filename)
It gives you output as soon as possible.
However if you don't have python 3.5 available, you can see the source of glob.py and adapt it for your use case.

I have the following structure. I want to iterate through sub folders (machine, gunshot) and process .wav files and build mfccresult folder in each category and the .csv file in it. I have the following code and the MFCC folder is keep forming in already formed MFCC folder.
parent_dir = 'sound'
for subdirs, dirs, files in os.walk(parent_dir):
resultsDirectory = subdirs + '/MFCC/'
if not os.path.isdir("resultsDirectory"):
os.makedirs(resultsDirectory)
for filename in os.listdir(subdirs):
if filename.endswith('.wav'):
(rate,sig) = wav.read(subdirs + "/" +filename)
mfcc_feat = mfcc(sig,rate)
fbank_feat = logfbank(sig,rate)
outputFile = resultsDirectory + "/" + os.path.splitext(filename)[0] + ".csv"
file = open(outputFile, 'w+')
numpy.savetxt(file, fbank_feat, delimiter=",")
file.close()
What version of python are you using? Not sure if this has changed in the past, but os.walk does not return "subdirs" as the first of the tuple, but the dirpath. See here for python 3.6.
I don't know your absolute path, but seeing as you are passing in the path sound as a relative reference, I assume it is a folder inside the directory where you run your python code. So for example, lets say you are running this file (lets call it mycode.py) from
/home/username/myproject/mycode.py
and you have some subdirectory:
/home/username/myproject/sound/
So:
resultsDirectory = subdirs + '/MFCC/'
as written in your code above would resolve to:
/home/username/myproject/sound/MFCC/
So your first if statement will be entered since this is not an existing directory. Thereby you create a new directory:
/home/username/myproject/sound/MFCC/
From there, you take
filename in os.listdir(subdirs)
This is also appears to be a misunderstanding of the output of this function. os.listdir() will return directories not files. See here for the man on that.
So now you are looping through the directories in:
/home/username/myproject/sound/
Here, I assume you have some of the directories from your diagram already made. So I assume you have:
/home/username/myproject/sound/machine_sound
/home/username/myproject/sound/gun_shot_sound
or something along those lines.
So the if statement will never be entered, since your directory names to not end with '.wav'.
Even if it did enter, you'd still have issues asfilename will actually be equal to machine_sound on the first loop, and gun_shot_sound in the second time through.
Maybe you are using some other wav library, but the python built-in is called wave and you need to call the wave.open() on the file not wav.read(). See here for the docs.
I'm not sure what you were trying to achieve with the call to os.path.splitext(filename)[0], but you can read about it here You will end up with the same thing that went in in this case though, so machine_sound and gun_shot_sound.
Your output file will thus result in:
/home/username/myproject/sound/MFCC/machine_sound.csv
on the first loop, and
/home/username/myproject/sound/MFCC/gun_shot_sound.csv
the second time through.
So in conclusion, I'm not sure what is happening when you say "MFCC folder is keep forming in already formed MFCC folder" but you definitely have a lot of reading ahead of you before you can understand your own code, and have any hope of fixing it to do what you want. Assuming you read through the links I provided, you should be able to do that though. Good luck!
Additionally, you had quite few typos in your code that I edited, include the immensely important whitespace characters. You should clean that up and ensure your code runs before posting it here, then double check that your copy/paste action did not result in any errors. People will be much more willing to help if you clean up your presentation a bit.
for subdir,dirs,files in os.walk(parent_dir):
for folder in next(os.walk(parent_dir))[1]:
resultsDirectory= folder + '/MFCC'
absPath = os.path.join(parent_dir, resultsDirectory)
if not os.path.isdir(absPath):
os.makedirs(absPath)
for filename in os.listdir(subdir):
print('listdir')
if filename.endswith('.wav'):
print("csv file writing")
(rate,sig) = wav.read(subdir + "/" +filename)
mfcc_feat = mfcc(sig,rate)
fbank_feat = logfbank(sig,rate)
print("fbank_feat")
outputFile =subdir + "/MFCC"+"/" + os.path.splitext(filename)[0] + ".csv"
file = open(outputFile, "w+")
numpy.savetxt(file, fbank_feat, delimiter=",")
file.close()
Here the csv file is stored in the subdirectory not in mfcc folder for each category.
I have issue with output path file.
I'am trying to make a file searching, Python based program, with GUI.
It's going to be used to search specified directories and subdirectories. For files which filenames have to be inserted in an Entry-box.
while I'am fairly new to python programming, I searched the web and gained some information on the os module.
Then I moved on and tried to write a simple code with os.walk and without the GUI program:
import os
for root, dirs, files in os.walk( 'Path\to\files'):
for file in files:
if file.endswith('.doc'):
print(os.path.join(root, file))
Which worked fine, however... file.endswith() Only looks to the last part of the filename.
The problem is that in the file path are over 1000 files with .doc. And I want the code to be able to search parts of the file name, for example "Caliper" in filename "Hilka_Vernier_Caliper.doc".
So I went on and searched for other methods than file.endswith() and found something about file.index(). So I changed the code to:
import os
for root, dirs, files in os.walk( 'Path\to\files'):
for file in files:
if file.index('Caliper'):
print(os.path.join(root, file))
But that didn't work as planned...
Does someone on here have an idea, how I could make this work?
You may use pathlib instead of the old os: https://docs.python.org/3/library/pathlib.html#pathlib.Path.rglob
BTW, file.index raises an exception if the name is not not found, so you need a try/except clause.
Another way is to use if "Caliper" in str(file):
I'm trying to loop through the files in a folder that have the extension .jpg or .jpeg. This looks like it should work, but for some reason nothing is printing. When I run it, no compile errors, it just doesn't print anything to the Python console.
import os
def find_images(image_dir, extensions=None):
default_extensions = ('jpg', 'jpeg')
if extensions is None:
extensions = default_extensions
elif isinstance(extensions, str):
extensions = (extensions,)
for root, dirs, filenames in os.walk(image_dir):
for filename in filenames:
print(filename, filename.split('.',1))
if filename.split('.', 1)[-1].lower() in extensions:
yield os.path.join(root, filename)
def main(image_dir=None):
if image_dir is None:
image_dir="D:/userName/Pictures/Gotham"
find_images(image_dir)
main() #doesn't return anything in console
find_images("D:/userName/Pictures/Gotham", ) # also doesn't do anything...
All of the questions I tried to find online give the method of doing this (looping through files in a directory), but nothing is showing me how to use the path correctly, as that's what I think I'm not doing right. There are pictures in the folder, I just can't seem to see why the script isn't listing the name for each.
I have also tried image_dir=r'D:\userName\Pictures\Gotham' and ...='D://userName//Pictures//Gotham' to no avail.
edit: meant to add this. This does work:
file_path = "D:/userName/Pictures/"
def list_images():
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(file_path):
for file in files:
if file.endswith(".jpg"):
print(file, file.split('.',1))
list_images()
...so what am I overlooking in the above find_images(...)?
(FYI - I'm trying to implement things from this answer)
I didn't notice the sneaky yield in your function... Well, you have made a generator function so it just returns an iterator when you call it - to get it to actually start executing you have to start iterating through it:
for image in find_images("D:/userName/Pictures/Gotham"):
print(image)
or at least get the first element to start it:
first_result = next(find_images("D:/userName/Pictures/Gotham"))
Also, while I'm here, that's very unsafe way to check for an extension - if the file name has multiple dots (i.e. my.image.jpg) it won't be recognized. Use str.endswith() or slice from the back of the string instead of str.split() (or don't limit splits to one).
I'm attempting to create a script that looks into a specific directory and then lists all the files of my chosen types in addition to all folders within the original location.
I have managed the first part of listing all the files of the chosen types, however am encountering issues listing the folders.
The code I have is:
import datetime, os
now = datetime.datetime.now()
myFolder = 'F:\\'
textFile = 'myTextFile.txt'
outToFile = open(textFile, mode='w', encoding='utf-8')
filmDir = os.listdir(path=myFolder)
for file in filmDir:
if file.endswith(('avi','mp4','mkv','pdf')):
outToFile.write(os.path.splitext(file)[0] + '\n')
if os.path.isdir(file):
outToFile.write(os.path.splitext(file)[0] + '\n')
outToFile.close()
It is successfully listing all avi/mp4/mkv/pdf files, however isn't ever going into the if os.path.isdir(file): even though there are multiple folders in my F: directory.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Even if it is suggesting a more effective/efficient method entirely that does the job.
Solution found thanks to Son of a Beach
if os.path.isdir(file):
changed to
if os.path.isdir(os.path.join(myFolder, file)):
os.listdir returns the names of the files, not the fully-qualified paths to the files.
You should use a fully qualified path name in os.path.isdir() (unless you've already told Python where to look).
Eg, instead of using if os.path.isdir(file): you could use:
if os.path.isdir(os.path.join(myFolder, file)):
I am a Python newbie and need to create a script that will do parse some files and put them into a SQL db. So I am trying to create smaller scripts that do what I want, then combine them into a larger script.
To that end, I am trying run this code:
import os
fileList = []
testDir = "/home/me/somedir/dir1/test"
for i in os.listdir(testDir):
if os.path.isfile(i):
fileList.append(i)
for fileName in fileList:
print(fileName)
When I look at the output, I do not see any files listed. I tried the path without quotes and got stack errors. So searching showed I need the double quotes.
Where did I go wrong?
I found this code that works fine:
import os
in_path = "/home/me/dir/"
for dir_path, subdir_list, file_list in os.walk(in_path):
for fname in file_list:
full_path = os.path.join(dir_path, fname)
print(full_path)
I can use full_path to do my next step.
If anyone has any performance tips, feel free to share them. Or point me in the right direction.
that is because you're most likely ejecuting your script from a folder outside your testdir, os.path.isfile need the full path name of the file so it can check is that is a lile or not (os.listdir return the names), if the full path is not provide then it will check is there is a file with the given name in the same folder from which the script is executed, to fix this you need to give the full path name of that file, you can do it with os.path.join like this
for name in os.listdir(testDir):
if os.path.isfile( os.path.join(testDir,name) ):
fileList.append(name)
or if you also want the full path
for name in os.listdir(testDir):
path = os.path.join(testDir,name)
if os.path.isfile(path):
fileList.append(path)
