Answer 1

You can use os.listdir() here a link to the docs

Warning returns files and directories

example:

import os

path = 'pyth/to/dir/'
dir_list = os.listdir(path)

update: you need to check if the returned names are directories or files

import os

path = 'pyth/to/dir/'
# list of all content in a directory, filtered so only directories are returned
dir_list = [directory for directory in os.listdir(path) if os.path.isdir(path+directory)]
