I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you. I never thought your way was
inferior.

You miss the point. The functions I posted, up until get_files_by_ext
which is the equivalent of your getFileList, to

Well you almost have it, but your problem is that you are trying to do
too many things in one function. (I bet I am
That worked perfectly. Thank you. That was exactly what I was looking
for. However, can you explain to me what the following code actually
does?

I've narrowed down the problem. All the problems start when I try to
eliminate the hidden files and directories. Is there a better way to
do this?

Something's really not reliable in my logic. I say this because if I
change the extension to .png then a file in a hidden directory (one the

.jpg files in the very same directory that don't show up when it

The second item in the tuple yielded by os.walk() is a list of
subdirectories inside the directory indicated

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

Where did you read that? The docs for os.listdir do say that '.' and
'..' are (sensibly) not returned as *results*. AFAIK there is nothing
to stop you using '.' or '..'

Okay. This is almost solved. I just need to know how to have each
entry in my final list have the full path, not just the file name.
Also, I've noticed that files are being found within hidden

So far, so good. I just have a few more questions.
Here's my code so far:
import os
top = '/home/USERNAME/'
images = []
for files in os.walk(top, topdown=True):
images += [file for file in files[2] if file.endswith('jpg')]
print images
I still need to know how I can dynamically get the
Oops, what I wrote above isn't quite correct. As another poster pointed

What you want is os.walk().

Hey, I've done similar things.
You can use system comands with the following
import os
os.system('command here')
You'd maybe want to do something like
dir_name = 'mydirectory'
import os
os.system('ls ' +dir_name + ' > lsoutput.tmp')
fin = open('lsoutput.tmp', 'r')
file_list = fin.readlines()
fi

I'm new at Python and I need a little advice. Part of the script I'm
trying to write needs to be aware of all the files of a certain
extension in the script's path and all sub-directories. Can someone
set me on the right path to what modules and calls to use to do that?
