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())

import os

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

import os

total_con=os.listdir('<directory path>')

files=[]

for f_n in total_con:
   if os.path.isfile(f_n):
     files.append(f_n)


print len(files)

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))

我这样做了，这返回了文件夹(Attack_Data)中的文件数量…这很好。

import os
def fcount(path):
    #Counts the number of files in a directory
    count = 0
    for f in os.listdir(path):
        if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(path, f)):
            count += 1

    return count
path = r"C:\Users\EE EKORO\Desktop\Attack_Data" #Read files in folder
print (fcount(path))

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
