Count the number of files in a directory in a relative path python

Question

I am trying to count the number of files in a directory. This program counts the number of photos of a person. The person's name is used as the file's name.

Here is the full file path

C:\Users\barry\PycharmProjects\face_rec\images\Barry

I have looked at How to count the number of files in a directory using Python and came up with this solution:

numberOfFile=(len([filename for filename in os.listdir('images/'+name.get()) if os.path.isfile('images/'+name.get())]))
print(numberOfFile)

However this solution always returns 0

I would like to avoid using the absolute path, but if the only option is using the absolute path, that is fine.

Answer 1

You aren't making use of the filename variable with which you iterate through the list returned by os.listdir. You can use os.path.join to join the directory name with it so that it can be found by os.path.isfile:

numberOfFile = len([filename for filename in os.listdir('images/' + name.get())
    if os.path.isfile(os.path.join('images/' + name.get(), filename))])
