List only files in a directory?

Question

Is there a way to list the files (not directories) in a directory with Python? I know I could use os.listdir and a loop of os.path.isfile()s, but if th

Answer 1

If you use Python 3, you could use pathlib.

But, you have to know that if you use the is_dir() method as :

from pathlib import *

#p is directory path
#files is list of files in the form of path type

files=[x for x in p.iterdir() if x.is_file()]

empty files will be skipped by .iterdir()

The solution I found is:

from pathlib import *

#p is directory path

#listing all directory's content, even empty files
contents=list(p.glob("*"))

#if element in contents isn't a folder, it's a file
#is_dir() even works for empty folders...!

files=[x for x in contents if not x.is_dir()]
