Better way to find absolute paths during os.walk()?

Question

I am practicing with the os module and more specifically os.walk(). I am wondering if there is an easier/more efficient way to find the actual path

Answer 1

This simple example should do the trick. I have stored the result in a list, because for me it's quite handy to pass the list to a different function and execute different operations on a list.

import os
directory = os.getcwd()
list1 = []

for root, subfolders, files in os.walk(directory):
  list1.append( [ os.path.join(os.path.abspath(root), elem) for elem in files if elem ])
# clean the list from empty elements
final_list = [ x for x in list1 if x != [] ]
