Using the path module from 
http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/index.html
it's easy:

import path
basePath = path.path('path/to/root/folder')
for txtPath in basePath.walkfiles('*.txt'):
   # do something with txtPath e.g. list the names
   print txtPath

Otherwise use os.walk() and fnmatch as Tim suggested.
