How to list directory in Python 3
Dario Vincenzo Tarantini
Sometimes, we need to list all directories in a certain path. This simple task can be done in a few different ways:
Using os.listdir()
import os
open("/tmp/test.txt", 'a') # lets create a blank file
arr = os.listdir("/tmp")
print(arr)It needs only one parameter, the path we want to list.
Using glob.glob()
import glob
open("/tmp/test.txt", 'a') # lets create a blank file
arr = glob.glob("/tmp/*.txt")
print(arr)Its use is basically the same as listdir.
Note:
glob.glob()also accepts wildcards.
