I think you want to be doing something like:
>>>for r,d,f in os.walk('.'):
... for filename in f:
... print os.path.join(r,filename)
I think that would give you the full path of every file, and then you can open
it, do a regex substitution or whatever close it and
keep going.
Thanks,
Ryan

Subject: [Tutor] walking directories
Hi folks,
Im running python2.4 on linux.
I have many python scripts in various directories of varying depth under my
home directory, and I need to change one line in each of
these files.
I thought about using os.walk with os.path.join eg
>>> for r,d,f in os.walk('.'):
... print os.path.join(r,d,f)
but I get this error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 2, in ?
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/posixpath.py", line 60, in join
if b.startswith('/'):
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'startswith'
which makes sense.
I know I can use glob.glob on the current directory, but Im struggling to see
how I can access these files, change them and save the
changes.
Im also a little annoyed with myself cos I feel that I really should know how
to do this by now.
If anyone can just give me a pointer in the right direction I would be very
grateful.
Many thanks
Nick .
