seperating directories from files

[Fuzzyman]

For checking the contents of a directory :

for entry in os.listdir(this_dir):
     if os.path.isdir(os.path.join(this_dir, entry));
        continue

You could use splitext to get the extension of a the filename, and
*assume* that '.jpg', '.png', '.ico' and friends are images.

I'm sure PIL will have ways of checking image metadata (if this is all
you are specifically after here).

All the best,
