os.path.splitext() and case sensitivity

[rbt]

Hi,

Is there a way to make os.path.splitext() case agnostic?

def remove_file_type(target_dir, file_type):
 for root, dirs, files in os.walk(target_dir):
 for f in files:
 if os.path.splitext(os.path.join(root, f))[1] in file_type:
 pass

remove_file_type(sysroot, ['.tmp', '.TMP'])

As you can see, the way I do it now, I place file extensions in a list. 
However, I'd like to able just to say '.tmp' and for that to work on any 
type of file that has tmp (no matter the case) in the extension.

Many thanks!!!

One solution would be to convert the extensions to lowercase
(or uppercase, if you prefer that)

if fileExtension.lower() == .tmp:

Many thanks... I did it this way as I sometimes delete files with 
different extensions:

def remove_file_type(target_dir, file_type):
 for root, dirs, files in os.walk(target_dir):
 for f in files:
 if os.path.splitext(os.path.join(root, f))[1].lower() in 
file_type:


remove_file_type(user_docs, ['.tmp', '.mp3'])
