Mmmm, how about: # mylistdir.py import os, os.path import sys def mylistdir(dir, join=False): for file in os.listdir(dir): if join: yield join(dir, file) else: yield file print list(mylistdir(sys.argv[1])) or print list(mylistdir(sys.argv[1],os.path.join)) That way I could def my own join and call it as print list(mylistdir(sys.argv[1],myjoin)) (Note that in your version the join argument isn't used at all.)
