If your patterns are simple (supported by fnmatch), the path module
makes this very easy:
import path
for f in path.path(dirname).walkfiles('

You probably don't need regexp for this, just use the fnmatch module

>> root, dirs, files = os.walk(dirname)
If you want to do it this way, you need to stop it after the first one:
root, dirs, files = os.walk(dirname).next()
print root
print dirs
print files

Neat. And looks better, at least on my machine, if you had a tab or two
and an extra \n after the dirs.

for filepath, dirs, files in os.walk(root):

os.walk returns an iteratable sequence of those tuples. Thus,
you want to have
for filepath, dirs, files in os.walk(dirname):
#you're looking at the "dirs" and "files" in fi
