What is best way to achieve the following? Each of the elements in the list needs to be appended with a common string.
path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'configs'))
files = ['%s/file1', '%s/file2'] % path
But I am getting the following error:
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for %: 'list' and 'str'
You need to apply it to each format in turn:
files = ['%s/file1' % path, '%s/file2' % path]
However, you should really use os.path.join() here; then the correct platform-specific directory separator will be used, always:
files = [os.path.join(path, 'file1'), os.path.join(path, 'file2')]
If this is getting repetitive, use a list comprehension:
files = [os.path.join(path, f) for f in ('file1', 'file2')]
