This problem just came up for me and I was able to fix it with pure python:

Link to the python docs is found here: 10.8. fnmatch — Unix filename pattern matching

Quote: "This example will print all file names in the current directory with the extension .txt:"

import fnmatch
import os

for file in os.listdir('.'):
    if fnmatch.fnmatch(file, '*.txt'):
        print(file)
