How to figure out files without extension in a directory using python

I have some files in a directory without any extension and I was wondering how to search for this files out and add .txt as an extension to them?

Is there a better way to do this?

    for file in found:

          fileExt = os.path.splitext(file)[-1]
          if '' == fileExt:
              print 'Found No Ext %s' %file

You can simply list all files in the directory and then rename them:

dirname = '/some/directory'
for f in os.listdir(dirname):
    path = os.path.join(dirname, f)
    if not os.path.isfile(path):
        continue  # A directory or some other weird object
    if not os.path.splitext(f)[1]:
        os.rename(path, path + '.txt')
