How to get files in a directory, including all subdirectories

Question

I\'m trying to get a list of all log files (.log) in directory, including all subdirectories.

Answer 1

I have a solution:

import os
for logfile in os.popen('find . -type f -name *.log').read().split('\n')[0:-1]:
      print logfile

or

import subprocess
(out, err) = subprocess.Popen(["find", ".", "-type", "f", "-name", "*.log"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE).communicate()
for logfile in out.split('\n')[0:-1]:
  print logfile

These two take the advantage of find . -type f -name *.log.

The first one is simpler but not guaranteed for white-space when add -name *.log, but worked fine for simply find ../testdata -type f (in my OS X environment).

The second one using subprocess seems more complicated, but this is the white-space safe one (again, in my OS X environment).
