[Tutor] listdir

[Christopher Spears]

I was trying to use listdir to look into the contents
of a file on my Win2K system.  According to the online
docs, I should be able to do this, but instead, I get
the following error message:

>>> import os
>>> listdir('C:\Documents and Settings\Christstopher
Spears\My Documents\python')

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in -toplevel-
    listdir('C:\Documents and Settings\Christstopher
Spears\My Documents\python')
NameError: name 'listdir' is not defined

What does this mean?  I have the same problem when I
try to rename a file.
