Hello Tutor,
I'm stuck and i really need help. Google and I can't find answer for my
problem. I've wrote app searching through directories database files. It
works fine, but only for one path. And I need to use more than one path.
This is my code:
import os
files = []
def find_db(paths):
for path in paths.split():
for root, dirs, filenames in os.walk(path):
for name in filenames:
if name.endswith((".db", ".sqlite", ".sqlite3")):
files.append(name + ', ' + os.path.join(root, name))
return sorted(set(files))
With one path given works great:
>>> find_db("/dbbs")
['april.db, /dbbs/analysis/april.db', 'important.sqlite,
/dbbs/temp/important.sqlite', 'march.db, /dbbs/analysis/march.db',
'weelky.sqlite3, /dbbs/analysis/queue/weelky.sqlite3']
But with more paths gives files only for last path given:
>>> find_db("/home/user/Desktop, /dbbs")
['april.db, /dbbs/analysis/april.db', 'important.sqlite,
/dbbs/temp/important.sqlite', 'march.db, /dbbs/analysis/march.db',
'weelky.sqlite3, /dbbs/analysis/queue/weelky.sqlite3']
I was trying to debug this code and I think problem is somewhere here:
for path in paths.split():
for root, dirs, filenames in os.walk(path):
Can You guide me where i've made mistake? os.walk() accepts one path to
look, so was searching something like chain from itertools, or argparse.
But none of them works. I couldn't find anything suits my needs. Is
there some way do what i need without import anything else than os
module? If not what I should search for?
Best Regards
