Answer 1

I found this library really fast.
https://pypi.org/project/scandir/
I used below code from this library, it worked like a charm.

def subdirs(path):
"""Yield directory names not starting with '.' under given path."""
for entry in os.scandir(path):
    if not entry.name.startswith('.') and entry.is_dir():
        yield entry.name
