Question

i want to count files in the command directory based on their extension.
So, i created a list with all the files in the cwd ,then a list with only the extensions and then i made a dict from that list.I made the dict with a count parameter but i don’t know how to handle this.My dict looks like “{‘txt’:0,’doc’:0}”.

 import os,glob

def myfunc(self):
    mypath=os.getcwd() 
    filelist=glob.glob("*") #list with all the files in cwd
    extension_list=[os.path.splitext(x)[1][1:] for x in filelist] #make list with the extensions only
    print(extension_list)

    count=0;
    mydict=dict((x,count) for x in extension_list) #make dict with the extensions as keys and count as value
    print(mydict)

    for i in mydict.values():  #i must do sth else here..
        count+=1
    print(count)
    print(mydict)

Just iterate through the extension list and increment the dictionary value:

for ext in extension_list:
    mydict[ext] += 1
