[issue5832] os.path.walk fails to descend into a directory whose name ends with a space

[Peter Otten]

Peter Otten <__pete...@web.de> added the comment:

Is "BBDO Atlanta " a symbolic link?. These are skipped by 
os.path.walk(). (The behaviour of os.walk() can be specified with the 
followsymlinks argument.)

os.path.walk is deprecated. You should use os.walk.

[issue5832] os.path.walk fails to descend into a directory whose name ends with a space

[Stephen Gilbert]

New submission from Stephen Gilbert :

I just ran into this using os.path.walk.  I noticed it wouldn't find
files inside a particular directory.  In debugging, I found that the
name of the directory was 'BBDO Atlanta '  os.path.walk would find the
directory, but wouldn't enter it.  I added a check inside my CallBack
function:

if file[-1:] == ' ' and os.path.isdir(file):
os.path.walk(file,CallBack,None)

and the script now traverses into the directory.
