Welcome Back To Another Learning Adventure!
Today My Project Is On The Smaller Side. I Will Be Navigating How I Would Create A Python Script That Generates A List Of Dictionaries About Files That Are In My Dictionaries.
I’ll Be Using One Of My Favorite AWS Services Cloud 9, & Then Pushing My Code To Github.

So First Things First I’m Going To Log Into My AWS Account, Go To Cloud9 & Then Open My Environment. I’m Going To Use import os To Enable Interaction With The Files & Directories On My Operating System.
In Order To Work With The Files In My Current Directory & Not All The Directories On My OS, I’m Usingos.getcwd() & Then Storing It In The cwd Variable To Be Able To Implement It In Different Parts Of My Script.
Now I Can Store The List Of My Files In The files Variable For The Current Directory I’m In, With os.listdir(cwd) . So It’s The List Of Files ”os.listdir” In My Current Working Directory(cwd).
I’m Creating An Empty List To Store My Directories file_list = [] .
I’ll Iterate Through My Files for files in files: , Create An Empty Dictionary For The Files Being Iterated Through file_dict = {} , & Then Specify What Information I Want From The Files.
