How rename files in a directory using python?

Question

The python script I am writing should be able to work in any folder I put in. I have to find all the .avi files. If the file name ends with cropped.avi then I have to rename it and save it as .avi, without the word cropped.

import os
import glob

os.getcwd()
glob.glob('*.avi')
directory = glob.glob('*.avi')

for directory:
    if i.endswith("cropped.avi"):
         os.rename("cropped.avi",".avi")

I think my code is missing something and I don't know what to do!!

Answer 1

The for loop syntax was incorrect. This works:

import os
import glob

directory = glob.glob('*.avi')
for i in directory:
    if i.endswith("cropped.avi"):
         os.rename("cropped.avi",".avi")
