I want to get the absolute path of the Directory I pass explicitly. Like

I should pass the name of the directory and the function should search for
it in the Hard drives and return me the full path of location on the
drive. I tried using os.path, but didn't succeed.
One way to achieve this is to fetch a recursive directory list for all
drives, and then search for your directory_name.endswith("abcd") in each
list. But what would you do with multiple occurrences ?
Here's a function to fetch a recursive directory list:
import os.path
def getRecursiveDirList(path):
dir_list = []
if (os.path.isdir(path)):
try:
files = os.listdir(path)
files.sort()
except:
files = []
for x in files:
full_path = os.path.join(path, x)
if (os.path.isdir(full_path)):
dir_list.append(os.path.join(full_path,''))
for full_path in getRecursiveDirList(full_path):
dir_list.append(full_path)
return dir_list
I've only tested this function under Linux.
It's also probably sub-optimal.
I don't know how to enumerate all your windows device letters.
