[python] How can I search sub-folders using glob.glob module?

(The first options are of course mentioned in other answers, here the goal is to show that glob uses os.scandir internally, and provide a direct answer with this).


Using glob

As explained before, with Python 3.5+, it's easy:

import glob
for f in glob.glob('d:/temp/**/*', recursive=True):
    print(f)

#d:\temp\New folder
#d:\temp\New Text Document - Copy.txt
#d:\temp\New folder\New Text Document - Copy.txt
#d:\temp\New folder\New Text Document.txt

Using pathlib

from pathlib import Path
for f in Path('d:/temp').glob('**/*'):
    print(f)

Using os.scandir

os.scandir is what glob does internally. So here is how to do it directly, with a use of yield:

def listpath(path):
    for f in os.scandir(path):
        f2 = os.path.join(path, f)
        if os.path.isdir(f):
            yield f2
            yield from listpath(f2)
        else:
            yield f2

for f in listpath('d:\\temp'):
    print(f)
