Are there any easy TODO's (such as easy-fix or junior jobs)?

Why not use the glob module?  From
<http://docs.python.org/lib/module-glob.html>:

| The glob module finds all the pathnames matching a specified
| pattern according to the rules used by the Unix shell. No tilde
| expansion is done, but *, ?, and character ranges expressed with []
| will be correctly matched. This is done by using the os.listdir()
| and fnmatch.fnmatch() functions in concert, and not by actually
| invoking a subshell. (For tilde and shell variable expansion, use
| os.path.expanduser() and os.path.expandvars().)
