Hi
I have modified an algorithm from the think like a python programmer
book for traversing folders and printing the files in those folders. It
works for my original purposes but I have a students that wants to use
it to run from a root folder, problem is that it crashes on the
recycling bin as well as hidden and other types of folders. Is there a
way to modify it to skip folders that would make it crash? I have tried
using exception handling (try) and other functions in the os module but
I cannot work it out. Any ideas? thanks
Michael
import os
import string
def walk(dir):
for name in os.listdir(dir):
path = os.path.join(dir,name)
if os.path.isfile(path):
beg = string.rfind(path,'\Student')
end = len(path)
filename = path[beg:end]
#print "___________ ",filename
print "___________ ",name
else:
print path
walk (path)
cwd = os.getcwd()
walk(cwd)
