1 r"""OS routines for Mac, DOS, NT, or Posix depending on what system we're on.
3 This exports:
4 - all functions from posix, nt, os2, mac, or ce, e.g. unlink, stat, etc.
5 - os.path is one of the modules posixpath, ntpath, or macpath
6 - os.name is 'posix', 'nt', 'os2', 'mac', 'ce' or 'riscos'
7 - os.curdir is a string representing the current directory ('.' or ':')
8 - os.pardir is a string representing the parent directory ('..' or '::')
9 - os.sep is the (or a most common) pathname separator ('/' or ':' or '\\')
10 - os.extsep is the extension separator ('.' or '/')
11 - os.altsep is the alternate pathname separator (None or '/')
12 - os.pathsep is the component separator used in $PATH etc
13 - os.linesep is the line separator in text files ('\r' or '\n' or '\r\n')
14 - os.defpath is the default search path for executables
16 Programs that import and use 'os' stand a better chance of being
17 portable between different platforms. Of course, they must then
18 only use functions that are defined by all platforms (e.g., unlink
19 and opendir), and leave all pathname manipulation to os.path
20 (e.g., split and join).

207 """Directory tree generator.
209 For each directory in the directory tree rooted at top (including top
210 itself, but excluding '.' and '..'), yields a 3-tuple
212 dirpath, dirnames, filenames
214 dirpath is a string, the path to the directory. dirnames is a list of
215 the names of the subdirectories in dirpath (excluding '.' and '..').
216 filenames is a list of the names of the non-directory files in dirpath.
217 Note that the names in the lists are just names, with no path components.
218 To get a full path (which begins with top) to a file or directory in
219 dirpath, do os.path.join(dirpath, name).
221 If optional arg 'topdown' is true or not specified, the triple for a
222 directory is generated before the triples for any of its subdirectories
223 (directories are generated top down). If topdown is false, the triple
224 for a directory is generated after the triples for all of its
225 subdirectories (directories are generated bottom up).
227 When topdown is true, the caller can modify the dirnames list in-place
228 (e.g., via del or slice assignment), and walk will only recurse into the
229 subdirectories whose names remain in dirnames; this can be used to prune
230 the search, or to impose a specific order of visiting. Modifying
231 dirnames when topdown is false is ineffective, since the directories in
232 dirnames have already been generated by the time dirnames itself is
233 generated.
235 Caution: if you pass a relative pathname for top, don't change the
236 current working directory between resumptions of walk. walk never
237 changes the current directory, and assumes that the client doesn't
238 either.
240 Example:
242 from os.path import join, getsize
243 for root, dirs, files in walk('python/Lib/email'):
244 print root, "consumes",
245 print sum([getsize(join(root, name)) for name in files]),
