I think this is a very common task.
I found that shutil.copytree() has ignore_patterns() but rmtree() has not.
So here comes my idea: add ignore_patterns() to rmtree() it is a good
feature and makes the functions symmetric.
You can't remove a tree when remain its branches. Thus rmtree() with
ignore_patterns will always fail.
For your particular case I suggest to use os.walk(). You can implement
arbitrary application specific conditions.
