Summer 2006- Questions on import os

Questions?
When I try to count 40 ".jpg" instances, I get an output of 40 1's rather than just "40". What am I doing wrong?

import os
def titleDirectory(dir):
for file in os.listdir(dir):
if file.endswith(".jpg"):
print file.count(file)
NOTE-ignore the tab errors

I think its doing that because its inside the loop and its printing out the number of jpg files if that condition is true. What you might want to do, instead of file.count(file), just do 
def titleDirectory(dir):
  count = 0
  for file in os.listdir(dir):
    if file.endswith(".jpg") or file.endswith(".JPG"):
      count = count + 1
  print count

This is how we did it in recitation and it seemd to work:
import os
def media(dir):
  pic=" .gif .jpg .png .bmp"
  text=" .txt .rtf .doc"
  files=os.listdir(dir)
  pics=0
  texts=0
  pys=0
  for file in files:
    extension=file[file.rfind('.'):]+' '
    if pic.find(extension)!=-1:
      pics=pics+1
    if text.find(extension)!=-1:
      texts=texts+1
    if extension=='.py':
      pys=pys+1
  print "pictures:",pics
  print "text:",texts
  print "pys:",pys

Oops, forgot my tags.

That's fine too. -Bobby Mathew
