For a single directory, os.listdir gives a list of file names; you
could filter the .html files yourself. Or you could use glob.glob to
filter *.html.

For a hierarchy, you can use os.path.walk; again, you'd have to filter
file names yourself - there is no recursive version of
glob.glob. However, the filtering can be easily done with
fnmatch.fnmatch.
