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 glob
import os

def child_dirs(path):
     cd = os.getcwd()        # save the current working directory
     os.chdir(path)          # change directory 
     dirs = glob.glob("*/")  # get all the subdirectories
     os.chdir(cd)            # change directory to the script original location
     return dirs

The child_dirs function takes a path a directory and returns a list of the immediate subdirectories in it.

dir
 |
  -- dir_1
  -- dir_2

child_dirs('dir') -> ['dir_1', 'dir_2']
