Getting Every File in a Windows Directory

All of the answers here don't address the fact that if you pass glob.glob() a Windows path (for example, C:\okay\what\i_guess\), it does not run as expected. Instead, you need to use pathlib:

from pathlib import Path

glob_path = Path(r"C:\okay\what\i_guess")
file_list = [str(pp) for pp in glob_path.glob("**/*.txt")]

import fnmatch
import os

return [file for file in os.listdir('.') if fnmatch.fnmatch(file, '*.txt')]

import os
import glob

os.chdir('c:/mydir')
files = glob.glob('*.txt')

You can use os.listdir(".") to list the contents of the current directory ("."):

for name in os.listdir("."):
    if name.endswith(".txt"):
        print(name)

If you want the whole list as a Python list, use a list comprehension:

a = [name for name in os.listdir(".") if name.endswith(".txt")]
