Expanding asterisk in glob

I want to be able to print a list of all file in a directory in linux but my code only print out the first item in the directory

inside home directory is text1.txt, text2.txt, text3.txt

sys.argv[1] should be /home/* when I run it on command line:

python fileName.py /home/*

Script:

def list_file():
    listFile= glob.glob(sys.argv[1])
    return listFile

print list_file()

the output is only the first file in the directory

 ['text1.txt']

any idea? The code works fine on Windows but when I moved it to Linux, it doesn’t work anymore

Thanks

Since the shell expands the wildcard, you don’t need to call glob. Just print all the arguments in sys.argv

def list_file():
    return sys.argv[1:]

print list_file()
