List files ONLY in the current directory

Question

In Python, I only want to list all the files in the current directory ONLY. I do not want files listed from any sub directory or parent.

There do seem to be similar

Answer 1

You can use os.listdir for this purpose. If you only want files and not directories, you can filter the results using os.path.isfile.

example:

files = os.listdir(os.curdir)  #files and directories

or

files = filter(os.path.isfile, os.listdir( os.curdir ) )  # files only
files = [ f for f in os.listdir( os.curdir ) if os.path.isfile(f) ] #list comprehension version.

Answer 2

You can use os.scandir(). New function in stdlib starts from Python 3.5.

import os

for entry in os.scandir('.'):
    if entry.is_file():
        print(entry.name)

Faster than os.listdir(). os.walk() implements os.scandir().
