You want shutil.rmtree
shutil.rmtree(path[, ignore_errors[,
onerror]])
Delete an entire directory
tree; path must point to a directory
(but not a symbolic link to a
directory). If ignore_errors is true,
errors resulting from failed removals
will be ignored; if false or omitted,
such errors are handled by calling a
handler specified by onerror or, if
that is omitted, they raise an
exception.
