There's the 'find' module, but I don't see any documentation
for it - even in the current development docs.  It's in my
Python 1.5.2 distribution.

  filename_list = find.find(pattern, [base directory])

where the "pattern" is a pattern string interpreted by fnmatch.


Or, you can write your own based on the os.path.walk function.
