*import os
Not sure what the asterisk at the front is for?
The import should be aligned with the left margin.
list = ['*.ini', '*.db']
Its a bad idea to call things list since you hide
the builtin list function for converting things to
lists...
for root, dirs, files in os.walk('/home/saad'):
**for list in files:
Assuming the asterisks indicate spaces the use of
list here hides your list above.
I suspect what you meant was something like
for file in files:
if file in list:
os.remove(file)
Except that won't work with wildcards.
So you might need to do:
for file in files:
for ending in list:
if file.endswith(ending):
os.remove(file)
Actually I suspect you would be better using glob.glob
here rather than os.walk. Alternatively, using os.basename
to split off the extension and comparing that might be better.
