I have a function that is meant to add some data to a file. Basically, it writes appends the data to the file and then reads it back into a dictionary stored in the class as self.dicts.
path = os.path.join(my_dir, 'filename.txt')
def add(self, key, value, type):
"""Key is just the dictionary key. Same with value. Type could be something like "comment" or "post" or
something """
if len(str(self.dicts)) > 4: #this fixes some errors for whatever reason.
text = ', "' + type + key + '"' + " : " + '"' + value + '"'
else:
text = '"' + type + key + '"' + " : " + '"' + value + '"'
with open(path + ".txt", "a") as f:
f.write(text)
with open(path + ".txt", "r") as f:
self.dicts = ast.literal_eval("{" + f.read() + "}")
As far as I can tell no errors are happening but the file remains stubbornly empty.
