from http://docs.python.org/lib/os-file-dir.html: walk() generates the file names in a directory tree, by walking the tree either top down or bottom up. For each directory in the tree rooted at directory top (including top itself), it yields a 3-tuple (dirpath, dirnames, filenames). dirpath is a string, the path to the directory. dirnames is a list of the names of the subdirectories in dirpath (excluding '.' and '..'). filenames is a list of the names of the non-directory files in dirpath. Note that the names in the lists contain no path components. To get a full path (which begins with top) to a file or directory in dirpath, do os.path.join(dirpath, name). -------- So walk yields a 3-tuple, not just a filename. You seem to be somewhat aware of this where you refer to files[2] in your list comprehension, but I believe that is not constructed correctly. Try this (untested): def get_image_filepaths(target_folder): """Return a list of filepaths (path plus filename) for all images in target_folder or any subfolder""" import os images = [] for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(target_folder): for filename in filenames: normalized_filename = filename.lower() if normalized_filename.endswith('.jpg') or normalized_filename.endswith('.gif'): filepath = os.path.join(dirpath, filename) images.append(filepath) return images import os images = get_image_filepaths(os.getcwd()) > Also, I've noticed that files are being found within hidden > directories. I'd like to exclude hidden directories from the walk, or > at least not add anything within them. Any advice? Decide how you identify a hidden directory and test dirpath before adding it to the images list. E.g., test whether dirpath starts with '.' and skip it if so. > > Here's what I've got so far: > > def getFileList(): > import os > imageList = [] > for files in os.walk(os.getcwd(), topdown=True): > imageList += [file for file in files[2] if file.endswith('jpg') > or > file.endswith('gif')] > return imageList -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
