import os
import shutil
files= next(os.walk(r'/home/m110/public_html/ts/'))[2]
for filename in files:
    ex=filename.split(".")[-1]
    if ex=='log':
       #print ex
       os.remove(filename)

If you want to use os: 

for root, dirs, files in os.walk('/home/m110/public_html/ts/'):
    for file in files:
        if file.endswith('.log'):
            os.remove(root +  '/' + file)

In Python 3+, you can use pathlib:

paths = pathlib.Path('/home/m110/public_html/ts/').glob('*.log')
for path in paths:
    path.unlink()

This could be accomplished by calling rm *.log in the bash as well, but for python:

import os
from glob import glob
log_file_list = glob('folder/*.log')
for file in log_file_list:
    os.remove(file)

This is only works for files in the top level of a folder.

Glob does pathname pattern matching as the unix bash does, os.remove removes a file with a given path.

If you want to include subfolders, you can set the recursive=True flag and change the search expression like so:

import os
from glob import glob
log_file_list = glob('folder/**/*.log', recursive=True)
for file in log_file_list:
    os.remove(file)
