List all matlab files in python

Hi. I need to convert the following matlab code to python:

DirList = dir(fullfile(Folder, '*.mat'));

Data = cell(1, length(DirList));

Do you have an idea of how to do it in python?

@John - you may be able to use glob to get a list of files that match satisfy a filter. Are you planning to look for mat files? Will you then be trying to open them with Python?

Yes, I want to list all the matlab files in python. Thank you for the help.

As @John mentioned, one way is with the glob function from the module of the same name:

from glob import glob
Dir = '.'
mat_files = glob(f'{Dir}/*.mat')

to create the Python list mat_files.

Very helpful. Thank you!
