python – List files ONLY in the current directory

python – List files ONLY in the current directory

Just use os.listdir and os.path.isfile instead of os.walk.

Example:

import os
files = [f for f in os.listdir(.) if os.path.isfile(f)]
for f in files:
    # do something

---

But be careful while applying this to other directory, like

files = [f for f in os.listdir(somedir) if os.path.isfile(f)].

which would not work because f is not a full path but relative to the current dir.

Therefore, for filtering on another directory, do os.path.isfile(os.path.join(somedir, f))

(Thanks Causality for the hint)

You can use os.listdir for this purpose. If you only want files and not directories, you can filter the results using os.path.isfile.

example:

files = os.listdir(os.curdir)  #files and directories

or

files = filter(os.path.isfile, os.listdir( os.curdir ) )  # files only
files = [ f for f in os.listdir( os.curdir ) if os.path.isfile(f) ] #list comprehension version.

python – List files ONLY in the current directory

import os

destdir = /var/tmp/testdir

files = [ f for f in os.listdir(destdir) if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(destdir,f)) ]
