How can I list the contents of a directory in Python?
Solution 1:
import os
os.listdir("path") # returns list
Solution 2:
One way:
import os
os.listdir("/home/username/www/")
Another way:
glob.glob("/home/username/www/*")
Examples found here.
The glob.glob method above will not list hidden files.
Since I originally answered this question years ago, pathlib has been added to Python. My preferred way to list a directory now usually involves the iterdir method on Path objects:
from pathlib import Path
print(*Path("/home/username/www/").iterdir(), sep="\n")
