Sorry, but I just can't help myself.
Yeah, it
Ops I miss the "one line" request, so my previous answer was definitely OT.
glob seems to be your solution.

I suggest you to take a look at walk function inside the os module
[1]; IIRC, on the list you would find a discussion on how to create a
wrapper for os.walk with support for filters or wildcards.

Depends if you count imports.
import glob
my_files
In a unix shell script I can do something like this to look in a
directory and get the name of a file or files into a variable :
MYFILE=`ls /home/mydir/JOHN*.xml`
Can I do this in one line in python?
