  1. This dictionary comprehension constructs a list of all the files in the current working directory (glob.glob('*')), filters that list to include only those files larger than 6000 bytes (if os.stat(f).st_size > 6000), and uses that filtered list to construct a dictionary whose keys are the filename minus the extension (os.path.splitext(f)[0]) and whose values are the approximate size of each file (humansize.approximate_size(os.stat(f).st_size)). +
  2. This dictionary comprehension constructs a list of all the files in the current working directory (glob.glob('*')), gets the file metadata for each file (os.stat(f)), and constructs a dictionary whose keys are filenames and whose values are the metadata for each file. +
  3. This dictionary comprehension builds on the previous comprehension, filters out files smaller than 6000 bytes (if meta.st_size > 6000), and uses that filtered list to construct a dictionary whose keys are the filename minus the extension (os.path.splitext(f)[0]) and whose values are the approximate size of each file (humansize.approximate_size(meta.st_size)).
  4. As you saw in a previous example, there are six such files, thus there are six items in this dictionary.
  5. The value of each key is the string returned from the approximate_size() function.
