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).

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