Hello I am trying to build a tool that will compress a list of folders and rename the compressed file, this list of the names of folders I want to compress are located in a .txt file, the .txt is something like this:
james, 5005
kyle, 02939
Betty, 40234
I have used multiple methods to try and build this code but I keep getting a python error set object is not subscriptable and I have no idea what to do to rectify this and on how to continue from here. Can I not use shutil.make_archive with dictionaries or can I use lists? because I would like to run this function down the first column and to rename the files i am creating using the second column. I am using python 3, and any help would be great!
import os
import shutil
x = input("Input Path your user list: ")
filename = input("Input user file name: ")
changedir = input("Input where your folders are: ")
os.chdir(changedir)
userfile = x + filename + ".txt"
print("Awesome your path is now", userfile)
with open(userfile, "rt") as userfileone:
count = 0
while 1:
buffer = userfileone.read(8192*1024)
if not buffer: break
count += buffer.count('\n')
print("It is indicated that there are", count + 1, "in the file")
with open(userfile, "rt") as f:
lines = f.readlines()
dic = {}
for x in lines:
x = x.strip().split(',')
dic[x[0]]=tuple(x[1:])
for i in dic:
shutil.make_archive(i, "zip", dic[i])
