How to get all of the immediate subdirectories in Python

Question

I\'m trying to write a simple Python script that will copy a index.tpl to index.html in all of the subdirectories (with a few exceptions).

I\'m getting bogged down

Answer 1

import os, os.path

To get (full-path) immediate sub-directories in a directory:

def SubDirPath (d):
    return filter(os.path.isdir, [os.path.join(d,f) for f in os.listdir(d)])

To get the latest (newest) sub-directory:

def LatestDirectory (d):
    return max(SubDirPath(d), key=os.path.getmtime)
