Python 2.7 and PrettyTables - python-2.7

Question

I am trying to get PrettyTables to work with the following script. I can get it almost to look right but it keeps separating my tables so it is printing 16 separate tables. I need all information in one table that I can sort. I appreciate all the help i can get.
import sys
import os
import datetime
import hashlib
import logging
def getScanPath(): #12
# Prompt User for path to scan
path = raw_input('Please enter the directory to scan: ')
# Verify that the path is a directory
if os.path.isdir(path):
return path
else:
sys.exit('Invalid File Path ... Script Aborted')
def getFileList(filePath):
# Create an empty list to hold the resulting files
pathList =[]
# Get a list of files, note these will be just the names of the files
# NOT the full path
simpleFileNameList = os.listdir(filePath)
# Now process each filename in the list
for eachFile in simpleFileNameList:
# 1) Get the full path by join the directory with the filename
fullPath = os.path.join(filePath, eachFile)
# 2) Make sure the full path is an absolute path
absPath = os.path.abspath(fullPath)
# 3) Make sure the absolute path is a file i.e. not a folder or directory
if os.path.isfile(absPath):
# 4) if all is well, add the absolute path to the list
pathList.append(absPath)
else:
logging.error('A Non-File has been identified')
# 5) Once all files have been identified, return the list to the caller
return pathList
def getFileName(theFile):
return os.path.basename(theFile)
def getFileSize(theFile):
return os.path.getsize(theFile)
def getFileLastModified(theFile):
return os.path.getmtime(theFile)
def getFileHash(theFile):
hash_md5 = hashlib.md5()
with open(theFile, "rb") as f:
for chunk in iter(lambda: f.read(4096), b""):
hash_md5.update(chunk)
return hash_md5.hexdigest()
# Main Script Starts Here
if __name__ == '__main__':
#Welcome Message
print "\nWelcome to the file scanner\n"
# prompt user for directory path
scanPath = getScanPath()
# Get a list of files with full path
scanFileList = getFileList(scanPath)
# Output Filenames
print "Files found in directory"
for eachFilePath in scanFileList:
fileName = getFileName(eachFilePath)
fileSize = getFileSize(eachFilePath)
lastModified = getFileLastModified(eachFilePath)
hashValue = getFileHash(eachFilePath)
fileModified = (datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(lastModified))
from prettytable import PrettyTable
pTable = PrettyTable()
pTable.field_names = ["File Name", "File Size", "Last Modified", "Md5 Hash Value"]
pTable.add_row ([fileName, fileSize, fileModified, hashValue])
print (pTable)enter code here
This should show me one big table using all the values from a set directory that the user chooses. This will allow me to sort the table later using prettytables.

I have no experience with prettyTables, but I noticed you have lastModified and fileModified yet only fileModified is used for a column in your table. Are you sure pretty table doesn't have some kind of row limit?
