glob seems to be a good idea, but is there a way to do it
case-insensitively, i.e., .jpg and .JPG?

it may be slower than glob, but i'm finding myself thinking more like...

len([i for i in os.listdir('tmp') if i.lower().endswith('.jpg')])

now, anyone with a solution for .jpg, .JPG, .jpeg, *and* .JPEG?
