Sure, piece of cake:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import os
def textfiles(path):
   include = ('.txt', '.csv',)
   for root, dirs, files in os.walk(path):
       for name in files:
           prefix, ext = os.path.splitext(name)
           if ext.lower() not in include:
               continue
           filename = os.path.join(root, name)
           yield filename
path = os.getcwd()
for name in textfiles(path):
   print name
