Actually, you're wrong here. The Windows API is returning the file
names in Unicode. The "os.listdir" function
1) Comparing the time it would take to walk a directory tree thousands
of times, with the storage it would take to store thousands of file
names, I think you would be much better of to store the list. Buy
another memory chip if needed.

ok, I understand better now, some more points.
You need to handle the case that it doesn't find the file after the
for loop, one source of a None return.
also as mentioned in point 2 when recursing you need to return the result so:
if os.path.isdir(full_path):

Hello,The value of n is initialized in the main procedure which
calls it. Basically I am trying to find the n'th file in the directory(can

I see a couple of problems with your code:
1. where is n first given a value and what is it total file count,
etc? also you decrement the value, do you want the last file in the
directory or something?
2. The if os.path.isdir(full_path): .. findFile(full_path) part
