Find Files in Directory Using Python

A nice solution to this is the path Python module. However, the following simple solution will do the trick. It doesn’t support wildcards at this point, but that could easily be added with some regular expression code.

def getFilesMatchingPattern(directory, nonWildCardPattern):
  fileList=os.listdir(directory)
  return [f for f in fileList if f.find(nonWildCardPattern) > -1]
