摘自本文

我解决了这个问题，同时通过谷歌Colab计算谷歌驱动器目录中的文件数量，通过将自己定向到目录文件夹by

import os                                                                                                
%cd /content/drive/My Drive/  
print(len([x for x in os.listdir('folder_name/']))  

普通用户可以尝试

 import os                                                                                                     
 cd Desktop/Maheep/                                                     
 print(len([x for x in os.listdir('folder_name/']))  

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

简短而简单

import os
directory_path = '/home/xyz/'
No_of_files = len(os.listdir(directory_path))

Os.listdir()将比使用glob.glob更有效。要测试文件名是否为普通文件(而不是目录或其他实体)，请使用os.path.isfile():

import os, os.path

# simple version for working with CWD
print len([name for name in os.listdir('.') if os.path.isfile(name)])

# path joining version for other paths
DIR = '/tmp'
print len([name for name in os.listdir(DIR) if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(DIR, name))])

我很惊讶没有人提到os.scandir:

def count_files(dir):
    return len([1 for x in list(os.scandir(dir)) if x.is_file()])
