• Python File Tagging System does not retrieve nested dictionaries in dictionary

  I am building a file tagging system using Python. The idea is simple. Given a directory of files (and files within subdirectories), I want to filter them out using a filter input and tag those files with a word or a phrase.

  If I got the following contents in my current directory:

  data/
     budget.xls
     world_building_budget.txt
  a.txt
  b.exe
  hello_world.dat
  world_builder.spec
  

  and I execute the following command in the shell:

  py -3 tag_tool.py -filter=world -tag="World-Building Tool"
  

  My output will be:

  These files were tagged with "World-Building Tool":
  data/ world_building_budget.txt
  hello_world.dat
  world_builder.spec
  

  My current output isn't exactly like this but basically, I am converting all files and files within subdirectories into a single dictionary like this:

  def fs_tree_to_dict(path_):
      file_token = ''
      for root, dirs, files in os.walk(path_):
          tree = {d: fs_tree_to_dict(os.path.join(root, d)) for d in dirs}
          tree.update({f: file_token for f in files})
          return tree
  

  Right now, my dictionary looks like this: key:''.

  In the following function, I am turning the empty values '' into empty lists (to hold my tags):

  def empty_str_to_list(d):
      for k,v in d.items():
          if v == '':
              d[k] = []
          elif isinstance(v, dict):
              empty_str_to_list(v)
  

  When I run my entire code, this is my output:

  hello_world.dat ['World-Building Tool']
  world_builder.spec ['World-Building Tool']
  

  But it does not see data/world_building_budget.txt. This is the full dictionary:

  {'data': {'world_building_budget.txt': []},  
  'a.txt': [],
  'hello_world.dat': [], 
  'b.exe': [], 
  'world_builder.spec': []}
  
  

  This is my full code:

  import os, argparse
  
  
  def fs_tree_to_dict(path_):
      file_token = ''
      for root, dirs, files in os.walk(path_):
          tree = {d: fs_tree_to_dict(os.path.join(root, d)) for d in dirs}
          tree.update({f: file_token for f in files})
          return tree
  
  
  def empty_str_to_list(d):
      for k, v in d.items():
          if v == '':
              d[k] = []
          elif isinstance(v, dict):
              empty_str_to_list(v)
  
  
  parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="Just an example", formatter_class=argparse.ArgumentDefaultsHelpFormatter)
  
  parser.add_argument("--filter", action="store", help="keyword to filter files")
  parser.add_argument("--tag", action="store", help="a tag phrase to attach to a file")
  parser.add_argument("--get_tagged", action="store", help="retrieve files matching an existing tag")
  
  args = parser.parse_args()
  
  filter = args.filter
  tag = args.tag
  get_tagged = args.get_tagged
  current_dir = os.getcwd()
  
  files_dict = fs_tree_to_dict(current_dir)
  empty_str_to_list(files_dict)
  
  for k, v in files_dict.items():
      if filter in k:
          if v == []:
              v.append(tag)
              print(k, v)
  
          elif isinstance(v, dict):
              empty_str_to_list(v)
  
      if get_tagged in v:
          print(k, v)

• Looping the function if the input is not string

  I'm new to python (first of all) I have a homework to do a function about checking if an item exists in a dictionary or not.

  inventory = {"apple" : 50, "orange" : 50, "pineapple" : 70, "strawberry" : 30}
  
  def check_item():
      x = input("Enter the fruit's name: ")
      if not x.isalpha():
          print("Error! You need to type the name of the fruit")
      elif x in inventory:
          print("Fruit found:", x)
          print("Inventory available:", inventory[x],"KG")
      else:
          print("Fruit not found")
  check_item()
  

  I want the function to loop again only if the input written is not string. I've tried to type return Under print("Error! You need to type the name of the fruit") but didn't work. Help
• VBA: Creating a class property that is an array of dictionaries

  In Microsoft Excel VBA I need to create a class that has two properties, "Name" and "Holdings". "Name" is just a string so the code for that is easy. But I need "Holdings" to be a variable length array containing dictionary objects. So this is what I wrote:

  Private mName As String
  Private mHoldings() As Scripting.Dictionary
  
  Public Property Let Name(vName As String)
        mName = vName
  End Property
   
  Public Property Get Name() As String
        Name = mName
  End Property
   
  Public Property Set Holdings(vHoldings() As Scripting.Dictionary)
        Set mHoldings = vHoldings
  End Property
   
  Public Property Get Holdings() As Scripting.Dictionary
        Set Holdings = mHoldings
  End Property
  

  When I try to compile it gives me this error: "Definitions of property procedures for the same property are inconsistent, or property procedure has an optional parameter, a ParamArray, or an invalide Set final parameter.

  What I doing wrong?

  Is there a map that can be used in React-Native?

  If so, please upload an example of how to use it.

  But again! No Google map and Apple map.
• verify if bloomberg-anywhere pdblp session is valid

  I want to implement a check if import pdblp is active and if not exit the session.

  I note from this link (Bloomberg Anywhere + pdblp or xbbg + not logged in) that a session:

  1. remains logged in for 3 days.
  2. is logged out if a session is opened on another pc.

  Therefore, i want to implement a try-execpt block like this:

  import pdblp
  
  
  # check if connected
  try:
      con = pdblp.BCon(timeout=5000)
      con.start()
  except Exception as e:
      print('not logged in:', e)
  
  

  my question is, would the above be sufficient to validate the connection ? (ie. would the above throw an error, e).
