I am trying to make convert a directory "tree" in a list of list, but cant find the algoritm =( ,for example a directory tree like :
+root +doc ele1 ele2 +doc3 ele3 +doc2 ele4 ele5 should convert into: root[ doc, [ele1,ele2,doc3,[ele3]], doc2, [ele4], ele5 ] I dont have any idea how to do it =( ,so far i get something like this : [doc1,ele1,ele2,doc3,ele3,doc2,ele4,ele5] instead of [doc1,[ele1,ele2,doc3,[ele3]],doc2,[ele4],ele5] I need this in order to print a directory tree with htmlgen library which uses nested lists to represent trees. #!/usr/bin/python from os import listdir from os.path import isdir,join,basename dirpath = '/tmp/test/' res = [] def rec(f): print f for ele in listdir(f): ele = join(f,ele) if isdir(ele): # append the directory name res.append(basename(ele)) rec(ele) else : res.append(basename(ele)) rec(dirpath) print res ### -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
