os.walk: Get entire path

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,
when I'm walking through a file system hierarchy using os.walk, how can I
get the full path of a file or dir? normpath and abspath don't work.
Thx,
Florian

Sure it does.

os.path.abspath(os.path.join(root, file_or_dir))

I would use glob

import glob

glob.glob('c:\\images\\*\\*.jpg')

yields all .jpg's in //images and sub directories with full path in a list.

No, it doesn't.

If the directory hierarchy is more thane one level deep you won't see
those files, and neither (I believe without verifying) will you see
files from the top-level directory itself.

Hello Florian,

from os.path import join, abspath
from os import walk

for root, dirs, files in walk("somedir"):
for file in files:
print abspath(join(root, file))

HTH.
