How to remove dictionary outer curly bracket or append it without curly bracket into a list?

data = [

]
for x in range(0, len(directory_files)):
    # print(directory_files[x])
    # print(os.stat('Data\\'   directory_files[x]).st_size)
    img = ("Data\\"   directory_files[x])
    img_with_no_tag = directory_files[x]
    size_of_img = str(os.stat('Data\\'   directory_files[x]).st_size)
    img_capsulated = cv2.imread(img, cv2.IMREAD_GRAYSCALE)
    img_capsulated_rgb = cv2.imread(img, cv2.IMREAD_COLOR)
    parent_tag = img_with_no_tag   size_of_img
    contourIndexNo = 0
    listTest = {
        img_with_no_tag   size_of_img: {
            'filename': img_with_no_tag,
            'size': size_of_img,
            'regions': [
            ],
            'file_attributes': {
                'caption': '',
                'public_domain': 'no',
                'image_url': ''
            }
        }
    }
    # print(*listTest, sep="{}")
    data.append(listTest)

This is how I execute the code. The output is shown like this:

[

This means, while appending the dictionary values into the list, I want to put them as they are not separate objects, or is there an alternative way while writing them into a json file?

I tried feature manipulation on json file write prompt like .replace or remove but that didn't work.

CodePudding user response:

What you show as desired output is a dictionary, so just create a dictionary instead of a list. The keys of this dictionary are then your image names, such as "138_mask.png4776"

data = {}

And then later on in your code add the entry to the dictionary:

data[img_with_no_tag   size_of_img] = {
    'filename': img_with_no_tag,
    'size': size_of_img,
    'regions': [],
    'file_attributes': {
        'caption': '',
        'public_domain': 'no',
        'image_url': ''
    }
}

Finally, if you want to put this dictionary in a list, you can always do this:

data = [data]
