How do I list all files of a directory?
directory, python
Solution
`os.listdir()` returns everything inside a directory -- including both files and directories.
`os.path`'s `isfile()` can be used to only list files:
from os import listdir
from os.path import isfile, join
onlyfiles = [f for f in listdir(mypath) if isfile(join(mypath, f))]
Alternatively, `os.walk()` yields two lists for each directory it visits -- one for files and one for dirs. If you only want the top directory you can break the first time it yields:
from os import walk
f = []
for (dirpath, dirnames, filenames) in walk(mypath):
f.extend(filenames)
break
or, shorter:
from os import walk
filenames = next(walk(mypath), (None, None, []))[2] # [] if no file

How can I list all files of a directory in Python and add them to a `list`?
