Listing directorycontent in python

[andreas]

Hello.

I have a simple question, I want to have a list of all files/dirs in a
certain directory.

An example would be that I want to know all filenames that end with
"*.JPG" in the directory "/var/www/".

I have not succeeded in doing this myself with "os.path"-module, so I
am now asking for tips, hints, examples or pointers to answers of
previous similar posts.

I am using Python v1.5 most of the time.

TIA

Andreas
