You can use glob:

>>> import glob
>>> from os.path import isfile
>>> print filter(isfile, glob.glob('/tmp/*')) # can use patterns

(will print a list of all files in the given directory, matching the
given pattern)

If you want to traverse a directory tree recursively, please take a look
at this recipe:
