Someone asked how to have python recursively search a folder structure. There may be a better way but this is how I typically do it–it basically starts with one directory and loops through the contents compiling a list of sub-directories as it goes through the contents. import glob, os theDir = 'c:/temp/' theDirList = [] theDirList.append(theDir) while len(theDirList)> 0: newDirList = [] for iDir in theDirList: print iDir for iFile in glob.
