I would do something like this instead:
>>> for root, dirs, files in os.walk('.'):
... for f in files:
... if 'text' in f:
... print f
...
gimp-text-tool
gimp-text-tool.presets
text.py~
textwrap.pyc
textwrap.py
...
You can append the output to a list and return that list if you want
to encapsulate this in a function.
