How to only get a list of the names of the non-directory files in current directory ('.')?
(Note excluding its subdirectories ).

I need the code : )

Start by getting a list of names of everything in the current directory.

Then filter that list by testing each one to see if it's a directory.

Tip: The second step can be done with os.path.isdir

Put some code together and try it. If you have trouble, post your
code, any exception traceback you get, and what you're having
difficulty with, and we'll go on from there.

Have fun!

Start by working through the tutorial to get familiar with python at
http://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/

then for your specific question, review the content at
http://www.diveintopython.net/file_handling/os_module.html

BTW, googling for "python how to get a list of names of everything in
the current directory" yields some good information as well. Google is
your friend for this level of question. Not sure anymore beyond that...

It yields it? You mean Google is an iterator?
