Use fnmatch.filter to filter files by more than one possible file extension

Question

Given the following piece of python code:

for root, dirs, files in os.walk(directory):
    for filename in fnmatch.filter(files, \'*.png\'):
        pass
         


        

Answer 1

This isn't really elegant either, but it works:

for root, dirs, files in os.walk(directory):
    for filename in fnmatch.filter(files, '*.png') + fnmatch.filter(files, '*.jpg') + fnmatch.filter(files, '*.jpeg') + fnmatch.filter(files, '*.gif'):
        pass
