Thanks for that. The os.walk recipe is described as a simple version of shutil.rmtree. The documentation for rmtree seems lacking to me, but after testing it, it appears to work as I want it: it removes symbolic links, it does not follow them. Is anyone else able to confirm that my understanding is correct? If so, the documentation should probably be a bit clearer. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
