def directory(path,extension):
  list_dir = []
  list_dir = os.listdir(path)
  count = 0
  for file in list_dir:
    if file.endswith(extension): # eg: '.txt'
      count += 1
  return count

如果您将使用操作系统的标准shell，则可以比使用纯python方式更快地获得结果。

Windows示例:

import os
import subprocess

def get_num_files(path):
    cmd = 'DIR \"%s\" /A-D /B /S | FIND /C /V ""' % path
    return int(subprocess.check_output(cmd, shell=True))

import os

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

这是一个简单的解决方案，可以计算包含子文件夹的目录中的文件数量。它可能会派上用场:

import os
from pathlib import Path

def count_files(rootdir):
    '''counts the number of files in each subfolder in a directory'''
    for path in pathlib.Path(rootdir).iterdir():
        if path.is_dir():
            print("There are " + str(len([name for name in os.listdir(path) \
            if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(path, name))])) + " files in " + \
            str(path.name))
            
 
count_files(data_dir) # data_dir is the directory you want files counted.

你应该得到一个类似这样的输出(当然，占位符改变了):

There are {number of files} files in {name of sub-folder1}
There are {number of files} files in {name of sub-folder2}

我找到了另一个可能是正确的公认答案。

for root, dirs, files in os.walk(input_path):    
for name in files:
    if os.path.splitext(name)[1] == '.TXT' or os.path.splitext(name)[1] == '.txt':
        datafiles.append(os.path.join(root,name)) 


print len(files) 

下面是一个简单的单行命令，我觉得很有用:

print int(os.popen("ls | wc -l").read())
