Yield in a recursive function

Question

I am trying to do something to all the files under a given path. I don\'t want to collect all the file names beforehand then do something with them, so I tried this:

<

That calls explore like a function. What you should do is iterate it like a generator:

if stat.S_ISDIR(stat_info.st_mode):
  for p in explore(path):
    yield p
else:
  yield path

EDIT: Instead of the stat module, you could use os.path.isdir(path).
