List of all files with particular extension in a directory

 

The method walk() generates the file names in a directory tree by walking the tree either top-down or bottom-up.

 fnmatch() compares a single file name against a pattern and returns a boolean indicating whether or not they match.

root  : Prints out directories only from what you specified  

dirs  : Prints out sub-directories from root.  

 files : Prints out all files from root and directories

  

 To get a full path (which begins with top) to a file or directory in dirpath, do 

os.path.join(dirpath, name).

_author__ = 'deepika'import fnmatch
import os

rootPath = 'D:\songs\\'pattern = '*.mp3'
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(rootPath):
    for filename in fnmatch.filter(files, pattern):
       print(os.path.join(root, filename) )
