The code snippet below in Category:PySymbian shows how to search a file extension.

import os, appuifw
 
 
def findfile(folder, file_extension):
    p=[]
    stack = [(folder, os.listdir(folder))]
    while stack:
        folder, names = stack[-1]
        while names:
            name = names.pop()
            path = os.path.join(folder, name)
            if os.path.isfile(path):
                if name.lower().endswith(file_extension):
                    p.append(path)
            elif os.path.isdir(path):
                stack.append((path, os.listdir(path)))
                break
        else:
            stack.pop()
    return p
 
# Ask for the extension of the file to search for
file_extension = appuifw.query(u'Enter file extension', 'text')
 
# Specify the folder to look in; file extension is used in lower case for
# case insensitive comparison
path = findfile('C:\\', file_extension.lower())
 
# Display the path or error message if not found
if path is None:
    appuifw.note(u'Not found')
else:
    for i in path:
	print i
