Try:

  import glob
  pattern = '*.pyc'
  for name in glob.glob(pattern):
    print name

glob's not recursive, though.  For that, consider os.walk:

  import os
  path = '.'
  extensions = ('.pyc',)
  for root, dirs, files in os.walk(path):
    for name in files:
      prefix, ext = os.path.splitext(name)
      if ext not in extensions:
        continue
      fullname = os.path.join(root, name)
      print fullname

The above code may have syntax errors since I didn't run it.

// m
