Installing Modules

[PythonBorg]

Hi There,

Have installed the Markdown module into Python3 using PIP.
it install without a problem... but when i try to use it, Python does not recognise it.
Have some markdown files that i would like to use.

import markdown

[PythonBorg]

It is now working.
did a bit of searching online and on my pc disk. Found out where the Markdown was installed and added a path to it.
Also reinstalled it via PyCharm and it is now working.

Converted a markdown file to a html, found the code on this website, if anyone is interested

Have a whole directory of markdown files.
If I put the contents of the dir into a list , I could iterate thou the list...yes.

That is the next Project to work thou.

You do not need to put the contents of a directory into a list. Python already provides a way to iterate through a directory, or walk through a directory tree. Look at os.listdir() or os.walk().

https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html

Better yet, use glob(). glob() lets you specify a search pattern for the filename, making it easy to do things like "return all jpeg files" or "return all files that start with "log".

Thanks...

if i use ...

1 2	path = r"c:\whatever" contents = Path.glob(path,"*.md")]

how do i print of the list, all i get is a <generator object Path.glob at xxxxxx

1 2 3 4 5

from pathlib import Path   dest = r'C:\Test' contents = Path(dest).glob("*.txt") print(list(contents))

See that i use pathlib here recommend.
It's more common that not need a list,so then activate the generator bye looping over it.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

from pathlib import Path   dest = r'C:\Test' # <rglob> Recursively yield all existing files in all sub-directories for path in Path(dest).rglob('*.txt'):     if path.is_file():         print(path)

Why would you want to print? You said you want to iterate.

1 2 3

path = r"c:\whatever" for filename in Path.glob(path,"*.md"):      print(filename)   # Replace with something more interesting

If you want to print a list of matching files you can do that too.

1 2	path = r"c:\whatever" filename_list = list(Path.glob(path,"*.md"))

Generators are like a list, but they "generate" one item at a time instead of having them all at the start. More and more Python built-in functions that used to return lists are now written as generators.
You can read about them here:

Sorry should have said that i am using the Pathlib...
This is what i am using now..

path = r"c:\test" contents = Path(path).glob("*.md") for i in contents: print(i,"\n")

I like to print, so that i can see what is happening...

Yes sure,it's like my code but you don't need contents variable.
path is clearer than i in this case,and new line(\n) is automatic so not needed.
So like this and with working indentation👀

from  pathlib import Path   dest = r"c:\test" for path in Path(dest).glob("*.md"):     print(path)

Thanks for that.....
I have about 15 files in the directory, so if I do the following that will convert from md to html.

with open(path,"r") as f:     for i in path:         text = f.read()         html = markdown.markdown(text)
