python script to read all file names in a folder

import os

def get_filepaths(directory):
    """
    This function will generate the file names in a directory 
    tree by walking the tree either top-down or bottom-up. For each 
    directory in the tree rooted at directory top (including top itself), 
    it yields a 3-tuple (dirpath, dirnames, filenames).
    """
    file_paths = []  # List which will store all of the full filepaths.

    # Walk the tree.
    for root, directories, files in os.walk(directory):

            # Join the two strings in order to form the full filepath.
            filepath = os.path.join(root, filename)
            file_paths.append(filepath)  # Add it to the list.

    return file_paths  # Self-explanatory.

# Run the above function and store its results in a variable.

python find file in directory

# option A (i think this is faster, not in micropython)

import os

if os.path.isfile("test.dat"):
	print("yes") #file found
else:
	print("no") #file not found

# also this is posible
# from os.path import isfile
# if isfile("test.dat"):


# option B (posible in micropython)

import os

if "test.dat" in os.listdir():
	print("yes") # file found
else:
	print("no") # file not found

# os.lisdir() return a array whit all the files found in the directory
