Yes.

>>> for path, dirs, files in os.walk("."):
... for f in files:
... if not f.lower().endswith(".txt"): continue
... print os.path.join(path, f)
If you want to be more complex:
>>> from os.path import splitext
>>> allowed = ['.txt', '.sql']
>>> for path, dirs, files in os.walk("."):
... for f in files:
... if splitext(f)[1].lower() not in allowed: continue
... fn = os.path.join(path, f)
... print "do something with %s" % fn
Just a few ideas,
