For loop to read file names

Question

I am new to python. I want to create a for loop that prints all the file names in my folder.

This is what I have :

import cf 
f = cf.read('/home/cd_files')
for i in f: 
  print f

The file names are string values. I am guessing what I failed to include in my code.

how deep do you want to print files. Like a folder can contain many other folders and then there are files. Do you want to print files recursively or just from inside one folder? — xxbinxx, May 29 '19 at 06:36

you can try below code to print all the files under the directory and sub directories.

   for root, dir, files in os.walk("/home/cd_files"):
        for file in files:
            print file

this will read all the files inside the folder, also in the subfolder itself. – sahasrara62 May 29 '19 at 06:38
