对于所有类型的文件，包括子目录(Python 2):

import os

lst = os.listdir(directory) # your directory path
number_files = len(lst)
print number_files

只有文件(避免子目录):

import os

onlyfiles = next(os.walk(directory))[2] #directory is your directory path as string
print len(onlyfiles)

import os

_, _, files = next(os.walk("/usr/lib"))
file_count = len(files)

import os

def count_files(in_directory):
    joiner= (in_directory + os.path.sep).__add__
    return sum(
        os.path.isfile(filename)
        for filename
        in map(joiner, os.listdir(in_directory))
    )

>>> count_files("/usr/lib")
1797
>>> len(os.listdir("/usr/lib"))
2049

一行和递归:

def count_files(path):
    return sum([len(files) for _, _, files in os.walk(path)])

count_files('path/to/dir')

def count_em(valid_path):
   x = 0
   for root, dirs, files in os.walk(valid_path):
       for f in files:
            x = x+1
print "There are", x, "files in this directory."
return x

摘自本文

它使用os。Listdir，适用于任何目录:

import os
directory = 'mydirpath'

number_of_files = len([item for item in os.listdir(directory) if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(directory, item))])

这可以用一个生成器来简化，用以下方法可以更快一点:

import os
isfile = os.path.isfile
join = os.path.join

directory = 'mydirpath'
number_of_files = sum(1 for item in os.listdir(directory) if isfile(join(directory, item)))
