New to Python and trying to do some class stuff with a simple task. Problem: 1) get a list of file names in a directory 2) create variables with the same name of each filename pulled from the directory. 3) Create an object for each and pass into the __init__ method the stringname of the file name.
This way I get a collection of objects that are the same name as the file name and within each instance of the class , a particular attribute will have the string name of the object. Hope this isn't too confusing.. example. class TPROJ: def __init__(self,value):#createMethod auto executes since it has __ self.BASENAME = value def display(self):#display method print self.BASENAME def getNames(): import os currentDir=os.getcwd() temp=currentDir + '/TEMP' os.chdir(temp) baseList=os.listdir(".") for name in baseList: name = TPROJ(name) print name Can anyone see what I am trying to do?
