Answer 1

This post is for hidden files but it should work for folders as well: Cross platform hidden file detection

Answer 2

Here is the folder which contains 1 hidden folder and a file. They get ignored in the final output and only non-hidden directories are getting listed:

import os

    if os.name == 'nt':
        import win32api, win32con
    def file_is_hidden(p):
        if os.name== 'nt':
            attribute = win32api.GetFileAttributes(p)
            return attribute & (win32con.FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN | win32con.FILE_ATTRIBUTE_SYSTEM)
        else:
            return p.startswith('.') #linux-osx
    file_list = [f for f in os.listdir(".") if not file_is_hidden(f) and os.path.isdir(f)]
    print(file_list)

Output:

    ['1', '2']
