How to use glob on python

Question

I'm trying to get a list of files on python using glob, however it is returning zero.

the method goes:

def read(self,folders)

"folders" input contain the files needed to be looped through

I used

files = glob(folders)

`glob` only finds the file name. Files are opened with `open` — DeepSpace, Apr 25 '18 at 08:13
Use `code formatting`. Don't post pictures of your code. https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/285551/why-not-upload-images-of-code-on-so-when-asking-a-question/285557#285557 — FHTMitchell, Apr 25 '18 at 08:14
Isn't posting code as text a thousand times easier than cropping and uploading pictures of it? — Aran-Fey, Apr 25 '18 at 08:15

One way you can do it, which yield the contents of each file in turn.

from glob import glob

class C:
    def read(self, folders):
        for file in glob(folders):
            with open(file) as f:
                yield f.read()

Why do you use a class here? – Matthias Apr 25 '18 at 08:50
Because in the op `read` has a first argument of `self` which is a pretty good bet OP wants a method. – FHTMitchell Apr 25 '18 at 08:50
