Question

In python, how can I check if a filename ends in \'.html\' or \'_files\'?

Answer 1

You probably want to know if a file name ends in these strings, not the file istelf:

if file_name.endswith((".html", "_files")):
    # whatever

To test whether a file ends in one of these strings, you can do this:

with open(file_name) as f:
    f.seek(-6, 2)           # only read the last 6 characters of the file
    if f.read().endswith((".html", "_files")):
        # whatever
