chmod directories recursively

Hello! As far as I can see os.chmod() doesn't adjust permissions on directories recusively. Is there any other possibility to achieve this aim except for calling os.system('chmod -R /dir') directly? Thanks, Fabian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Splitting device addresses into parts

I often have to deal with strings like PCI:2:3.0 or PCI:3.4:0 and need the single numbers as tuple (2, 3, 0) or (3, 4, 0). Is there any simple way to achieve this? So far I am using regular expressions but I would like to avoid them ... Regards, Fabian Steiner -- http://mail.python.org/mailman
