Open up memes from a .jpg file when the pc starts up using Python

Question

I'm trying to open files in a directory that doesn't have just .jpg files in it here's the code i wrote:

import os
import random
import time, shutil
path=(r"C:\Users\KIMEDIAS\Desktop\Noice\PYTHON")
files=os.listdir(path)
d = random.choice(files)
os.startfile(d)
time.sleep(2)
quit()

Can someone help me so i can specify the file type it open's. And, if you can make it close the process and delete the file after some seconds.

Hint: Use https://docs.python.org/3/library/pathlib.html and you'll be able to do it easier. Try loops and get files that match an specific suffix ;) — Saelyth, Mar 30 '20 at 17:09

You can use glob to get a certain type of files

import glob

path=(r"C:\Users\KIMEDIAS\Desktop\Noice\PYTHON\*.jpg")
files=glob.glob(path)
print(files)
