I put in your code, exactly as you have it, with only three changes:
#!/usr/bin/python
import os
for (dirpath, subdirs, filenames) in os.walk("/python24"): # a comma instead of a period after dirpath
for file in filenames:
if file.endswith(".py"): # py instead of baz, just for my machine
print os.path.join(dirpath,file) # file instead of f
This walks the directories and prints out the path and filename.
On a side note I've never had a problem throwing several thousand files or lines at python.

On the web, I found a snippet of code that demonstrated the os.walk module and
I created a simple test program to work on my tree that looked like this:
#!/usr/bin/python
import os
for (dirpath. subdirs, filenames) in os.walk("/foo/bar"):
for file in filenames:
if file.endswith(".baz"):
print os.path.join(dirpath,f)
when I try to run it, I get a "ValueError: too many values to unpack" which I
think comes from the fact that there is a subdirectory of /foo/bar which has
over 2500 files in it. The tree can't be easily restructured for legacy
reasons. Can anyone suggest the best way to get around this in code?
Thanks,
Andy
