Checking if an image of a certain type (png) exists in a directory in Python

I’m wondering how can I check in a certain directory if it has a png image(it’s name can be anything). If yes, then save the name of the images in a list.

Thanks

>Solution :

You can use the glob library and "*" as a wildcard e.g.

import glob
pngs = glob.glob("yourdir/*.png") # len(pngs) == 0 means we have no matches
# ['image1.png', 'image2.png' ...]
