Question

This is what I have:

glob(os.path.join(\'src\',\'*.c\'))

but I want to search the subfolders of src. Something like this would work:

That one uses fnmatch or regular expression:

import fnmatch, os

def filepaths(directory, pattern):
    for root, dirs, files in os.walk(directory):
        for basename in files:
            try:
                matched = pattern.match(basename)
            except AttributeError:
                matched = fnmatch.fnmatch(basename, pattern)
            if matched:
                yield os.path.join(root, basename)

# usage
if __name__ == '__main__':
    from pprint import pprint as pp
    import re
    path = r'/Users/hipertracker/app/myapp'
    pp([x for x in filepaths(path, re.compile(r'.*\.py$'))])
    pp([x for x in filepaths(path, '*.py')])
