Python: filename contains String (metachar?)

You can use glob. It's very handy and similar to find command in Linux.

import glob
glob.glob("/home/user/*.txt")

Search in multiple subdirectories

glob.glob("/home/user/*/*.txt")

glob.glob("/home/user/logs?.txt")

I think you are looking for fnmatch:
