Python SDK: How to dowload files with wildcard in filename?

Question

Hi,

is there a way to download a file with a random number in the filename?

Something like

metadata = dbx.files_download_to_file(downfile, '/%s*' % testfile)

All the files a in the following format

knownstring--randomnumber.txt

The API doesn't offer the ability to download with a wildcard like this. You'll need to call once per file with the exact file path.

You can get the file names using files_list_folder and files_list_folder_continue.
