You can use regular expressions:

import re
files=[file for file in os.listdir(os.getcwd()) if not
re.match('^.+\.((py)|(pyc))$', file)]

You can also use fnmatch:

from fnmatch import fnmatch
files = [file for file in os.listdir(os.getcwd()) if not fnmatch(file,
'*.py') and not fnmatch(file, '*.pyc')]
