Use endswith with multiple extensions
I'm trying to detect files with a list of extensions.
ext = [".3g2", ".3gp", ".asf", ".asx", ".avi", ".flv", \
".m2ts", ".mkv", ".mov", ".mp4", ".mpg", ".mpeg", \
".rm", ".swf", ".vob", ".wmv"]
if file.endswith(ext): # how to use the list ?
command 1
elif file.endswith(""): # it should be a folder
command 2
elif file.endswith(".other"): # not a video, not a folder
command 3
Use a tuple for it.
>>> ext = [".3g2", ".3gp", ".asf", ".asx", ".avi", ".flv", \
".m2ts", ".mkv", ".mov", ".mp4", ".mpg", ".mpeg", \
".rm", ".swf", ".vob", ".wmv"]
>>> ".wmv".endswith(tuple(ext))
True
>>> ".rand".endswith(tuple(ext))
False
Instead of converting everytime, just convert it to tuple once.
Couldn't you have just made it a tuple in the first place? Why do you have to do:
>>> ".wmv".endswith(tuple(ext))
Couldn't you just do:
>>> ext = (".3g2", ".3gp", ".asf", ".asx", ".avi", ".flv", \
".m2ts", ".mkv", ".mov", ".mp4", ".mpg", ".mpeg", \
".rm", ".swf", ".vob", ".wmv")
