The obvious way is first_1000 = os.listdir()[:1000] That does build a potentially bigger list in memory before chopping off the 1000 elements, but unless you're running out of memory to hold the list (which these days probably means millions of files in the directory), don't worry about it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
