from glob import glob
from os.path import isfile
def countwords(fp):
   with open(fp) as fh:
       return len(fh.read().split())

print "There are" ,sum(map(countwords, filter(isfile, glob("*.txt") ) ) ), "words in the files."

in the first line, why don’t this just simply import glob library?

Is there any reason for using “from glob” in front of “import glob”?

    If you write import glob, you would need to use glob.glob.

    from glob import glob takes glob.glob and makes it available as just glob.
