Convert Tuple to String

[jeff4567]

I've got an issue where i'm trying to change names of a bunch of files in python. I've scoured the necessary directory and added the files to a list, and now im trying to remove the last 9 charecters from the filename and replace them with something new. When I try to take the letters off using fname =fname[-:9] its throwing me an error.

here's what i've got so far. Thanks for the help.

import os, sys, string
 
start = 'start path'
 
list = []
new_list = []
 
for dirs in os.walk(start):
    list.append(dirs)
    print list
print 'done'
 
for fname in list:
    if '.pyw' in fname:
        fname = fname[:-9]
    new_list.append(fname)
print new_list

What error did you receive? Often that will tell us what the problem is.

Do not use the name "list" as an identifier. That will mask the built-in function list().

Your problem is that os.walk() returns a generator object that yields tuples consisting of:

directory
list of subdirectories
list of files
