Opening a File Inside Nested Folders With Glob In Python

Question

I am trying to open a file inside the two folders

import glob
import os
wPlayer = '1'
playeritems = 'PlayerFiles/PlayerItems'
with glob.glob(os.path.join(playeritems, open('inventory.%s.txt' % wPlayer, 'r'))) as wPs:
  #do stuff with wPs

But it is giving me there error

There is no such file or directory: 'inventory.1.txt'

But I know for a fact that there is 'inventory.1.txt' inside PlayerFiles/PlayerItems.

What am I doing wrong? Is it because it is a string?

I used this question to get where I am now.

If you have the path and the filename, as constructed with your join, what is glob doing there? It looks like you're opening a single file.

import os
wPlayer = '1'
playeritems = 'PlayerFiles/PlayerItems'
with open(os.path.join(playeritems,'inventory.%s.txt' % wPlayer), 'r') as wPs:
  #do stuff with wPs

Thanks! For some reason I thought I had to find the file first.
