14.29 The find Module

(Only 1.5.2, Obsolete) The find module provides a single function, with the same name as the module: find(pattern, directory) => list scans a given directory and all its subdirectories for files matching a given pattern, as Example 14-36 shows.

For more information on the pattern syntax, see the fnmatch module.

Example 14-36. Using the find Module

File: find-example-1.py

import find

# find all JPEG files in or beneath the current directory
for file in find.find("*.jpg", "."):
    print file

.\samples\sample.jpg
