Directory


I would like to get a list of sub directories in a directory.
If I use os.listdir i get a list of directories and files in that .
i only want the list of directories in a directory and not the files
in it.
anyone has an idea regarding this.

Look up os.walk (allows you to selectively walk over files and directories)
and/or os.path.isdir (allows you to test if a given path is a directory)

How far down do you want to go?

All the way to the bottom:

for root, dirs, files in os.walk('.'):
for d in dirs:
print os.path.join(root, d)

Only your current directory:

x = os.listdir('.')
for item in x:
if os.path.isdir(item):
print item

import os
listofdirs=[d for d in os.listdir(mydir) if os.pathisdir(d)]
