Never seen such a standard tool, yet it can be implemented in a way like this def walkup(path): aux = path.rsplit('/') while aux != ['']: yield reduce(lambda x,y:x+'/'+y,aux) aux.pop() yield '/' Maybe this is not the best way to ascend directories, but it seems to work. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
