Python search all files in subfolders containing specific subfolder name

For example, I have 3 subfolders in the root directory and 2 subfolders in each subfolders, as shown below:

C:/main/canada/May 2022
C:/main/canada/Jun 2022
C:/main/usa/May 2022
C:/main/usa/Jun 2022
C:/main/mexico/May 2022
C:/main/mexico/Jun 2022

I am hoping to only scan for files in subfolders with name contains substring 'May'.

I am beginner and tried os, glob, pathlib, but don't think my thinking is correct.

You could try first globbing for subdirectories that match using glob.glob, and then finding their parents using pathlib.Path.parent:

import glob
import pathlib
for subdir in glob.glob("C:/main/*/*May*"):
    print(pathlib.Path(subdir).parent)
