Python: How can I find all files with a particular extension?

Question

I am trying to find all the .c files in a directory using Python.

I wrote this, but it is just returning me all files - not just .c files.

Change the directory to the given path, so that you can search files within directory. If you don't change the directory then this code will search files in your present directory location:

import os  #importing os library 
import glob #importing glob library

path=raw_input()  #input from the user 
os.chdir(path)

filedata=glob.glob('*.c') #all files with .c extenstions stores in filedata.
print filedata
