I won't answer for elegance, but you glob the dirs, but do not glob
root. Now all of your code is knotted together pretty tightly, so it's
hard to make the change. Suppose we have:
def dirs(abs_base):
for root,dirs,files in os.walk(abs_base):
yield root
for name in dirs:
yield os.path.join(root, name)
def globdir(path,pattern):
