How to use glob() to find files recursively?

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:

Here is my solution using list comprehension to search for multiple file extensions recursively in a directory and all subdirectories:

import os, glob

def _globrec(path, *exts):
""" Glob recursively a directory and all subdirectories for multiple file extensions 
    Note: Glob is case-insensitive, i. e. for '\*.jpg' you will get files ending
    with .jpg and .JPG

    Parameters
    ----------
    path : str
        A directory name
    exts : tuple
        File extensions to glob for

    Returns
    -------
    files : list
        list of files matching extensions in exts in path and subfolders

    """
    dirs = [a[0] for a in os.walk(path)]
    f_filter = [d+e for d in dirs for e in exts]    
    return [f for files in [glob.iglob(files) for files in f_filter] for f in files]

my_pictures = _globrec(r'C:\Temp', '\*.jpg','\*.bmp','\*.png','\*.gif')
for f in my_pictures:
    print f
