He probably meant that a 'join' option would be more natural than an 'abs' option. After all, your examples use os.path.join to create a valid path that can be used as the argument to other module os functions. Whether the results are absolute or relative should depend on the initial argument to os.listdir. Daniel -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
