As a found it at nearly every beginner guide, with the os.listdir option I am listing all files and folders within my directory and the os.path.isdir is used to find out that one is a file or a directory.

So I just the tried the following piece of code:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import os

filelist = os.listdir("/home")

for file in filelist:
     if os.path.isdir(file):
          print "I am a directory"
      else:
          print "I am NO directory"

If I just remove the if, I am able to print all files and directories, but that tiny if clause is just not working. Any idea where my fault is?
