[Tutor] listdir()

[Ole Jensen]

Hello list

I have recently learnt of the os.listdir() function, and I intend to experiment with it using a cgi-page (html). I would like to have a base directive show all the files and folders, so that the user can browse through it all. 
Now, listdir() returns both the files and folders in one big mess, so I am wondering if there is some ListFolderInDir() function or similar within python that I should use, if so what is its name and location.

I realise that if there is no such function it is easy to create one youself using some try: except:statements e.g.

>>> for folder in os.listdir(path):
 try:
  print os.listdir(path+folder)
 except:
  print folder, "is not a folder!"

and puting that into a function that outputs the what you need.

But for now I was wondering if there is a simpler way to do? like an built in function...

TIA
