Python: os.listdir alternative/certain extensions

Question

Is it possible to see files with certain extensions with the os.listdir command? I want it to work so it may show only files or folders with .f at the end. I checked the doc

Answer 1

There is another possibility not mentioned so far:

import fnmatch
import os

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

Actually this is how the glob module is implemented, so in this case glob is simpler and better, but the fnmatch module can be handy in other situations, e.g. when doing a tree traversal using os.walk.
