[SOLVED] Python: How to Access Linux Paths

Issue

Using Python, how does one parse/access files with Linux-specific features, like "~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default"? I've tried this, but it doesn't work.

Thanks

Solution

This

import glob, os
glob.glob(os.path.expanduser('~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default'))

will give you a list of all files ending in ".default" in the current user's ~/.mozilla/firefox directory using os.path.expanduser to expand the ~ in the path and glob.glob to match the *.default file pattern.
