This error occurred because of error in finding .extension files.
os.path.splitext(filename)[-1].lower() not in ext_whitelist: ### this line had bugs, failed to select files with extensions .so.x [.so.1 .so.2 .so.3.1] but worked on simple extensions only. like- .so .dll
Added a mechanism to remove this bug.
