Use glob.glob to search recursively for *.txt files, from current directory down

I am trying to modify below piece of code to search recursively for *.txt files from current directory (directory in which I run my script) down.

for file in glob.glob('./*.txt'):

Any advice will be much appreciated.

You will be better off using os.walk rather than glob. It is designed for walking through directories like this. Try this code to get started:

import os
myfiles =[]
for root, dirnames, filenames in os.walk("./"):
    for filename in filenames:
        if(filename.endswith(".txt")):
            myfiles.append("%s/%s" % (root, filename))
print myfiles
