I would like to use the power of Python to build some list structures for me.
Namely i have organized a bunch of folders that have soundfiles in them and would like Python to slurp up all the .aif/.aiff (or .wav whatever) files in a given set of directories. My friend hacked up this is perl: $files = `ls /snd/Public/*.aiff`; @snd_filelist = split('\n',$files); $i = 0; while ($file = @snd_filelist[$i]) { print "file $i = @snd_filelist[$i]\n"; $i++; } The only catch with the above code (besides its hideousness hee hee) is if you have a directory w/i the structure, but in general it works and with this i can just put gobs of files into separate dirs pack them into a list and then send them to my script that scrambles them and plays them. I would like something similar, that works with python that is more elegant and maybe even more robust. but i am failing miserably and my perl friends mock me. cheers, kp8 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
