[Tutor] Only appending one object to list, when I am expecting more than 1

[AdamC]

I'm creating lots of objects from json in a file. Part of reading the json
back means that it iterates over the file and loads a json object and then
creates the object from the dictionary.

This is my  file:

{"name": "Dwarf Fortress", "platform": "steam", "dateAdded":
"2019:02:25:16:56:1551113768", "tpe": "2019:02:21:13:49:1550756942"}
{"name": "Jaws", "platform": "Netflix", "dateAdded":
"2019:02:25:16:56:1551113768", "tpe": "2019:02:21:13:49:1550756960"}
{"name": "Wargames", "platform": "CLI", "dateAdded":
"2019:02:25:16:59:1551113984", "tpe": "Game"}

and these are the functions that help load that file:

media = []

def loadFile():
    filename = input('Filename? ')
    f = open(filename, 'r')
    createObjects(f)

def createObjects(f):
    '''Takes a file object and iterates through entries, passing them to
create
    object, depending on what object it is.'''
    for line in f:
        count = count + 1
        data = json.loads(line)
        print(type(data['tpe']))
        name = data['name']
        platform = data['platform']
        dateAdded = data['dateAdded']
        tpe = data['tpe']
        if data['tpe'] == 'Game':
            a = createGame(name, platform, dateAdded,tpe)
            game = {a: tpe}
            media.append(game)
        if data['tpe'] == 'Film':
            a = createFilm(name, platform, dateAdded,tpe)
            film = {a: tpe}
            media.append(film)
    # For some reason I'm only getting one object at a time now when
appending to media
    print(len(media))

def createGame(name, platform, dateAdded, tpe):
    return Game(name, platform, dateAdded)

def createFilm(name, platform, dateAdded, tpe):
    return Film(name, platform, dateAdded)

(This isn't the order that the functions are held in the module).
Why would I only get one object in media, even though all three are created?
