reading, modifying and writing json file

[metalray]

Hi Python Experts,

I am trying to open a json file, modify the content and write it to a different directory.
The code runs but nothing is really happening.

I am not sure what should come first, the dump or the misc save. Is the dump a save as well?

from scipy import ndimage, misc
import numpy as np
import os
import cv2
import json

def main():
    outPath='C:/..../'
    path='C:/...../data_aug_test/'

    # iterate through the names of contents of the folder
    for file_path in os.listdir(path):
	
	#create the full input path and read the file
        input_path = os.path.join(path, file_path)
	
        if file_path.endswith('.jpg'):	

             print('jpeg process')
		
    else: #.json
         print('else json handling')
		 
         with open(input_path, 'r') as f:
             data = json.load(f)
             data['id'] = 134 # <--- modify value.
			 
		    #write file then save	 
             jsonsavepath = os.path.join(outPath, 'flipped_'+file_path)
             misc.imsave(jsonsavepath, f)
			 
         with open(input_path, 'w') as f:
             json.dump(data, f, indent=4)	 
		 
if __name__ == '__main__':
     main()

don't forget that:

for file_path in os.listdir(path):

will get you everything in path, including directories
Can't run your code as is, so don't know if this is an issue.
It could be in the future, so still not a good idea.

if running python 3.5 or newer, you can use pathlib (untested code):

>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> path Path(C:/Users/HOLLEYP/Downloads/TSS_DonkeyCarChallenge/tubs/tubs_cleaned/data/data_aug_test/)
>>> files = [x for x in home.iterdir() if x.is_file()]
>>> for file_path in files:
...     do stuff here
>>>

OK. Thanks. Got it.
