List of files, directories in Python

Source: life is short - you need Python!

Jul 14, 2008

Summary

Here I present a short python program that prints the list of all files inside the current directory and subdirectories. It prints filename with relative path to the current directory.
import os
for root, dirs, files in os.walk('./'):
for name in files:
filename = os.path.join(root, name)
print filename
You can also print the list of directories only (just print the dirs). Actually I needed this stuff to solve a problem from Google treasure hunt. Let me know if you want me to share the full source code of the solutions of Google treasure hunt. Also share your code, if you have any different idea!
Check the python documentation to learn more about processing Files and Directories. Read the full article
