1 r"""OS routines for Mac, 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
15 - os.devnull is the file path of the null device ('/dev/null', etc.)
17 Programs that import and use 'os' stand a better chance of being
18 portable between different platforms. Of course, they must then
19 only use functions that are defined by all platforms (e.g., unlink
20 and opendir), and leave all pathname manipulation to os.path
21 (e.g., split and join).

224 """Directory tree generator.
226 For each directory in the directory tree rooted at top (including top
227 itself, but excluding '.' and '..'), yields a 3-tuple
229 dirpath, dirnames, filenames
231 dirpath is a string, the path to the directory. dirnames is a list of
232 the names of the subdirectories in dirpath (excluding '.' and '..').
233 filenames is a list of the names of the non-directory files in dirpath.
234 Note that the names in the lists are just names, with no path components.
235 To get a full path (which begins with top) to a file or directory in
236 dirpath, do os.path.join(dirpath, name).
238 If optional arg 'topdown' is true or not specified, the triple for a
239 directory is generated before the triples for any of its subdirectories
240 (directories are generated top down). If topdown is false, the triple
241 for a directory is generated after the triples for all of its
242 subdirectories (directories are generated bottom up).
244 When topdown is true, the caller can modify the dirnames list in-place
245 (e.g., via del or slice assignment), and walk will only recurse into the
246 subdirectories whose names remain in dirnames; this can be used to prune
247 the search, or to impose a specific order of visiting. Modifying
248 dirnames when topdown is false is ineffective, since the directories in
249 dirnames have already been generated by the time dirnames itself is
250 generated.
252 By default errors from the os.listdir() call are ignored. If
253 optional arg 'onerror' is specified, it should be a function; it
254 will be called with one argument, an os.error instance. It can
255 report the error to continue with the walk, or raise the exception
256 to abort the walk. Note that the filename is available as the
257 filename attribute of the exception object.
259 By default, os.walk does not follow symbolic links to subdirectories on
260 systems that support them. In order to get this functionality, set the
261 optional argument 'followlinks' to true.
263 Caution: if you pass a relative pathname for top, don't change the
264 current working directory between resumptions of walk. walk never
265 changes the current directory, and assumes that the client doesn't
266 either.
268 Example:
270 from os.path import join, getsize
271 for root, dirs, files in walk('python/Lib/email'):
272 print root, "consumes",
273 print sum([getsize(join(root, name)) for name in files]),

284 # minor reason when (say) a thousand readable directories are still
