How can I get the names of the files in a directory?

[Sara Fwd]

Can you guys also help me find a module that looks in
a directory and print out the names of the files in there?

You can use glob:

import glob
from os.path import isfile
print filter(isfile, glob.glob('/tmp/*')) # can use patterns

(will print a list of all files in the given directory, matching the
given pattern)

If you want to traverse a directory tree recursively, please take a look
at this recipe:

import os, os.path

def get_all_files(p ath):
if len(path) > 0:
if path[-1] == ':':
path = path + '\\'
try:
for i in os.listdir(path ):
j = os.path.join(pa th, i)
if os.path.isdir(j ):
for ii in get_all_files(j ):
yield ii
else:
yield j
except:pass

for i in get_all_files(' c:\\'):
print i

Nice example of when filter() is better than list comprehension.

[f for f in glob.glob("/tmp/*") if isfile(fi)]
is a bit too verbose, the iteration is a totally uninteresting part
here.
