Clean Up Files - A Helpful Function

I've been developing window services using python (win32api), and often I find is necessary that I need to clean up files at the end of the process.  I developed a small function that is quite helpful for cleaning up files by extension:


def cleanUpFiles(directory,extension):
    dir = directory
    files = os.listdir(dir)
    for f in files:
      if not os.path.isdir(f) and extension in f:
        os.remove(dir + os.sep + f)


Enjoy
