Python program to traverse directories and read file information

Question

I\'m just getting started with Python but already have found it much more productive than Bash shell scripting.

I\'m trying to write a Python script that will traverse e

Answer 1

Try it

import os

for item in os.walk(".", "*"):

     print item 

Answer 2

Try

info = []
for path, dirs, files in os.walk("."):
    info.extend(FileInfo(filename, path) for filename in files)

or

info = [FileInfo(filename, path)
        for path, dirs, files in os.walk(".")
        for filename in files]

to get a list of one FileInfo instance per file.

Answer 3

I'd use os.walk doing the following:

def getInfos(currentDir):
    infos = []
    for root, dirs, files in os.walk(currentDir): # Walk directory tree
        for f in files:
            infos.append(FileInfo(f,root))
    return infos
