os.walk without digging into directories below

Question

How do I limit os.walk to only return files in the directory I provide it?

def _dir_list(self, dir_name, whitelist):
    outputList = []
    for         


        

Answer 1

The suggestion to use listdir is a good one. The direct answer to your question in Python 2 is root, dirs, files = os.walk(dir_name).next().

The equivalent Python 3 syntax is root, dirs, files = next(os.walk(dir_name))
