Sorting Directories from files in a os.listdir??

[Soren]

Hi,

I'd like to read the filenames in a directory, but not the
subdirectories, os.listdir() gives me everything... how do I separate
the directory names from the filenames? Is there another way of doing
this?

Thanks!

The only thing I can think of if you just want the immediate dir is to
use the os.path module's function isfile to test each item from the
list returned by os.listdir.

This should do the trick I think:

[ f for f in os.listdir('pathname') if os.path.isfile(f) ]

Check each returned name using os.path.isfile
(untested):

def files_only(path):
return [filename for filename in os.listdir(path)
if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(path, filename))]

I guess you have no other way than using os.path.isfile or
os.path.isdir for every entry returned by os.listdir.

Thanks everyone! That worked!

import os
base, files, dirs = iter(os.walk(dirname)).next()
# now files is files and dirs is directories (and base == dirname)

import os
os.listdir(".") ['fifo', 'dir', 'file'] # a fifo, a directory, and a file
w = os.walk(".")
w is iter(w) # calling iter() is a noop here True
w.next()

('.', ['dir'], ['fifo', 'file']) # base, dirs, files; everything that is not
# a directory goes into the files list
