The Path module is excellent, but it's walk still doesn't take into
account the depth of the current file in the folder structure.
If you need that, I wrote (with Kent's help) a simple script that will
take it into account (you need the Path module above for it to work).
def traverse(directory, function, depth=0):
import path
thedir = path.path(directory)
for item in thedir.files():
function(item, depth)
for item in thedir.dirs():
traverse(item,function, depth+1)
It can be used like:
def doprint(item, depth):
print item
traverse(r"C:\Temp", doprint)
Hope it's helpful to someone.
