title: Finding empty directories in Python
body: <p>All,</p>
  
  <p>What is the best way to check to see if there is data in a directory before deleting it? I am browsing through a couple pages to find some pics using wget and of course every page does not have an image on it but the directory is still created. </p>
  
  <pre><code>dir = 'Files\\%s' % (directory)
  os.mkdir(dir)
  cmd = 'wget -r -l1 -nd -np -A.jpg,.png,.gif -P %s %s' %(dir,  i[1])
  os.system(cmd)
  if not os.path.isdir(dir):
      os.rmdir(dir)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would like to test to see if a file was dropped in the directory after it was created. If nothing is there...delete it.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Adam</p>
