i'm just trying to write output of for loop to txt file
for filename in glob.glob('/home/*.txt'):
file_metadata = { 'name': 'files.txt', 'mimeType': '*/*' }
media = MediaFileUpload(filename, mimetype='*/*', resumable=True)
file = drive_service.files().create(body=file_metadata, media_body=media, fields='id').execute()
links = []
links.append(file.get('id'))
with open("ids.txt", "w") as file:
for e in links:
file.write(str(e))
file.close()
You need to write to the file in a separate loop, not nested loop, or just remove the nested loop entirely. You should also remove close() from with open(), it handles the closing after the writing to the file is done
with open("ids.txt", "w") as f:
for filename in glob.glob('/home/*.txt'):
file_metadata = { 'name': 'files.txt', 'mimeType': '*/*' }
media = MediaFileUpload(filename, mimetype='*/*', resumable=True)
file = drive_service.files().create(body=file_metadata, media_body=media, fields='id').execute()
f.write(f'{file.get("id")}\n')
# or if your Python version is older than 3.6
f.write(str(file.get("id")) + '\n')
You should not use the same variable file for two different purposes. And you should not close() anything you open with with open() as ..:
links = []
for filename in glob.glob('/home/*.txt'):
file_metadata = { 'name': 'files.txt', 'mimeType': '*/*' }
media = MediaFileUpload(filename, mimetype='*/*', resumable=True)
file = drive_service.files().create(body=file_metadata, media_body=media, fields='id').execute()
links.append(file.get('id'))
with open("ids.txt", "w") as fout:
fout.write('\n'.join(links))
