newbie wants to compile python list of filenames in selected directories

[anthonyberet]

Hi, I am new at Python, and very rusty at the one language I was good 
at, which was BASIC.

I want to write a script to compare filenames in chosen directories, on 
windows machines. Ideally it would compose a list of strings of all the 
filenames in the directories, and those directories would be chosable by 
the user of the script.

I am quite happy to do my own legwork on this , I realise it is simple 
stuff, but can anyone point me in the right direction to start?

Thanks
