How to create a dictionary from multiple files in

Question

I need to create a POST request that will create an object on my webserver, the object has several attributes that are all extracted from different files, each file has a self explaining name.

I have following file structure

augmentations

  team_1

     objects

       category.txt
       description.txt
       location.txt
       orientation.txt
       title.txt

After the loop there should be a dictionary with the attributes from each file that I can use to POST the data as the param in request.post("url", params=parameter)

I have done some reasearch but couldn't manage to find a proper solution to my problem. According to https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_dictionaries.asp you can just add keys to a library like in my code

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import os
import requests

rootdir = 'C:/.../augmentations'

FileType = 'route'
parameter = {}

for subdir, dirs, files in os.walk(rootdir):
for directory in dirs:
    for file in files:
        if file == 'category.txt' and FileType not in subdir:
            f = open(os.path.join(subdir, file), "r", encoding='utf8')
            lines = f.readlines()
            f.close()
            x = ""
            for line in lines:
                line = line.replace(' ', '')
                x += line
            parameter["category"] = x
        elif file == 'description' and FileType not in subdir:
            f = open(os.path.join(subdir, file), "r", encoding='utf8')
            lines = f.readlines()
            f.close()
            x = ""  # input
            for line in lines:
                x += line
            parameter["description"] = x
        elif file == 'location' and FileType not in subdir:
            f = open(os.path.join(subdir, file), "r", encoding='utf8')
            lines = f.readlines()
            f.close()
            lineArray = []
            for line in lines:
                line = line.replace(' ', '')
                lineArray = line.split(',')
            parameter["lat"] = lineArray[0]
            parameter["lng"] = lineArray[1]
        elif file == 'orientation' and FileType not in subdir:
            f = open(os.path.join(subdir, file), "r", encoding='utf8')
            lines = f.readlines()
            f.close()
            lineArray = []
            for line in lines:
                line = line.replace(' ', '')
                lineArray = line.split(',')
            parameter["x"] = lineArray[0]
            parameter["y"] = lineArray[1]
            parameter["z"] = lineArray[2]
        elif file == 'title' and FileType not in subdir:
            f = open(os.path.join(subdir, file), "r", encoding='utf8')
            lines = f.readlines()
            f.close()
            x = ""  # input
            for line in lines:
                x += line
            parameter["title"] = x
    print(parameter)

The problem is that dont know where that "block" of information ends and the dictionary is ready to be delivered. Where would I need to put the:

r = requests.post("myurl", params=parameters)

The output Im getting from the last print is only {'category': 'culture'} The output should be something like

{'category': 'culture', 'description': 'some description', 'title': 'some title', 'x': '0.123', 'y': '0.891', 'z': '0.871', 'lat': '40.01231', 'lng': '30.0000'}

for every object (around 100)

Solved - EDIT:

the problem was a that I forgot to add the .txt in my elif conditions
