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:
