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, or ce, e.g. unlink, stat, etc.
5 - os.path is one of the modules posixpath, or ntpath
6 - os.name is 'posix', 'nt', 'os2', '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).

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