# Assume we want files in working directory
import glob
import os.path

#If you want to have the list of dbf files try this:
lst = glob.glob("*.dbf")
print "lst = glob.glob(\"*.dbf\")"
print lst

# If you want to have the list of files, which do not have dbf extension:
lst = [x for x in glob.glob("*.*") if os.path.splitext(x) != "dbf"]
print "lst = [x for x in glob.glob(\"*.*\") if os.path.splitext(x) != \"dbf\"]"
print lst
