Well, at least we know some people acually listen to advice given in the maillist :-)
Crawling the file system Does anyone have any Python code that recursively crawls the directory structure right down to the lowest directory? I have a Perl script that does it, but it's ugly, and doesn't like directories with names like "a.bob", not much use when that's the syntax all my students' home directoriey have. Some bright spark on my school board decided to have "random inspections" of students files. I figured I could save a lot of time if Python went out and scanned all the files and left me a report of files that need human review. Damn teachers!
