HOME dir., listing files and directories

#############################

Locate your HOME dir.:

import os

home = os.path.expanduser("~")
print home   # /home/jabba

List everything (files, dirs) in a given directory:

print os.listdir(home)

Collect files in a given directory:

files = [f for f in os.listdir(home) if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(home, f))]
print files

Collect subdirectories in a given directory:

dirs = [f for f in os.listdir(home) if os.path.isdir(os.path.join(home, f))]
print dirs

Collect files with a specified extension in a directory (glob):

import glob

print glob.glob('/home/jabba/dwhelper/*.txt')
# ['/home/jabba/dwhelper/a.txt', '/home/jabba/dwhelper/b.txt']   <-- full path is returned
