This program will get data from a folder called Data which has txt files and will return the filename with a score but I don't think it's really good.

Can I get any kind of feedback on this program. Is there anyway this can be written in a better way or something that should be added to?

For nltk, default_download_dir is PYTHONHOME\lib\nltk on Windows or one of various /usr directories, falling back to the home directory, for the rest of the world. In a production application you would want to separate the download() step into the setup code rather than the application code.

Otherwise,

  • Consider replacing os.listdir and related functions with equivalent but more sugar-y calls to pathlib
  • From your open() call onwards, that code belongs in one or more methods rather than the global namespace
  • Don't call re.compile from the inside of a loop; pre-compile your expression at the beginning of the method. Also, after doing this (repeated) compilation, you throw away the results and call re.sub. Use pattern.sub instead.
  • No need to semicolon-terminate your statements
  • Use with on your file opens
  • Consider adding PEP484 type hints
  • listdata = [] is redundant and can be deleted because you trample right over it on the next line; same with A={}
  • fileIndex would be file_index by PEP8
  • [filename for filename in invertedIndex[word].keys()] can be list(inverted_index[word])
  • dic is a poor name for a variable; it says the type but not what's inside
  • [word for word in txtlist if not word in stopwords.words('english')] would be better-represented by set subtraction
  • range(0,num_of_files) can drop the 0 since that's default

This block:

    return tx
    if toreturn[tx] != 0:
        del toreturn[tx]

will never see the last two statements executed.
