Python OOP help

Hello again ^^

I've encountered a problem with python OOP that I cannot find any solution to :/ Although I think that I might be the one thinking wrong, yet still I need some help so… :P

I'm trying to create a script that reads the name of every folder (a project) in a workspace folder and then display some info about a chosen project.

import os

class project:
    """Projects in Workspace"""
    def __init(self):
        pass
    def name(self):
        self.name = name
    def stats(self):
        pass

directory = os.getcwd() + "\Workspace" 
dir_content = os.listdir(directory) # --> dir_content = ['Website1", "Website2"]

The question is, how do I get dir_content[0] (website1) to become an instance of the project class?

dir_content[0]=project() ?

    """Projects in Workspace"""
    def __init__(self, path):
        self.path = path
    def name(self, name):
        self.name = name

directory = os.getcwd() + "\Workspace" 
workspace_content = os.listdir(directory)

for i in range(len(workspace_content)):
    project_path = os.path.join(directory, workspace_content[i])
    workspace_content[i] = project(project_path)
    workspace_content[i].name(workspace_content[i])
    print workspace_content[i].name

results: <main.project instance at 0x01B03DF0>

-_- wtf am I doing wrong?

ah I see…

doing as you suggested COM will give me a list with instances as elements. what I want to do is create x amount of instances automatically. This should be done with some kind of a loop cause the number of instances will be defined by the number of folders –> 10 folder = 10 instances by the names:

folder1 folder2 etc. folder10

suggestions? :P

Convert list to dict and then use that, fromkeys maybe?

I struggled for a day and right when I came up with the solution you posted it :P mohah thnx for the answer anyway =)

Also, you do know that I really don't know anything about python, right? So come on, man, get your shit together :P

Edit: oh and if you really are this stuck and need help, etc. I'd recommend you talk to ynori about it, unlike me, he's actually good with python and loves to help :)

blame it on firefox spell check =P who said that I do? XD It's just a hobby and this is my first attempt @ OOP.

mohahah :ninja:

Edit: I know XD he's awesome! but I think that he has had about enough of newPz asking him questions (including me).

ok here's a more complicated problem I encountered using pygtk… I'm trying to create a treeview for the folders in my workspace, now I've created the treeview and it works like magic. The only problem is that the current tree look like this:

• project 1 |– file 1 |– file 2

What I want to do is having an icon ex. file1.png instead of the | symbol.

here's my code so far

treestore = gtk.TreeStore(gtk.gdk.Pixbuf, str)  **#TreeModel with pixbud and string**
for i in range(len(keys)):
    tree_menu = treestore.append(None, [self.arrowsout_icon, [keys[i]]])  ** #Parent row --> arrowout_icon and first project name**
    for x in range(len(workspace_projects[keys[i]].file_list)):
         treestore.append(tree_menu, [self.film_icon,[workspace_projects[keys[i]].file_list[x]]])    **#child row --> for every item in folder --> film_icon and filename**

tree = gtk.TreeView(treestore) ** #TreeView for the TreeModel**
workspace_tree = gtk.TreeViewColumn("Projects in workspace")  **#Show the column**
tree.append_column(workspace_tree)   **#Add the column to the tree**

cell = gtk.CellRendererPixbuf() **#Reder the data in each cell**
workspace_tree.pack_start(cell, True)   
workspace_tree.add_attribute(cell, "pixbuf", 0)   
workspace_tree.set_sort_column_id(0)    **#Make the column sortable!**

I can't figure out why this isn't working. If i remove the icons and use CellRendererText(), everything works. but when using icons and Pixbuf, things seem to get a bit weird.

No error message is shown, only empty cells. :/

My guess is that there is something wrong with the attributes I'm including, but the PyGTK documentation sucks, so… :P
