how would i go about getting a listing of the contents of a directory in python.
i want to get the names of the folders in the 'games' directory and store them in a list variable in python.
i've been reading the xbmc python doc, but have not figured this out yet. i also checked the python doc in the xbmc cvs, so i know there is no class already in the xbmc python libs to do this.
but there must be a method to get file and directory names with python!
reading must be magical or something, it's how i find all da anwsers!

i posted this late last night so that was a typo, it is correct in the script.
i do not have xbmc 13-04-2004 build. i currently do not have .net installed on my pc, becuase i'm waiting to get a bigger hdd (only got a 20gb right now). so i have no way to complie the cvs.
ok, i went to the cvs and dowloaded the makedoc.py and ran it on my xbmc and getdvdstatus is not in the build i have. so i have to get the latest build if i want to use that function.
btw darkie i luv dat makedoc.py, it really helps. the makedoc script combined with alx5962's examples make learning python for xbmc simple.

darkie and i added getdvdstatus only few days ago so there's no cvs compile yet available including it.
so wait for a newer xbmc cvs build.
