If all you want is to get a list of files of a directory, try os.listdir():

    listdir(...)
        listdir(path) -> list_of_strings

        Return a list containing the names of the entries in the directory.

                path: path of directory to list

        The list is in arbitrary order.  It does not include the special
        entries '.' and '..' even if they are present in the directory.
