Hi,
Does anybody have a function that I can use that will return a list of the paths of _all_ files on a particular drive? (Windows) Otherwise can somebody give me some guidelines for creating one?
Regards,
Wayne

you might be able to make use of os.path.walk()

I got curious, so I tried it, and it works:
import os
files =
def junk(arg, dirname, names):
files.extend(names)
os.path.walk("./junk",junk,None)
(you'd want to put "C:" or something rather than "./junk", to do a whole
drive, I just tested it on my junk directory. If your drive is big, this
could take a while!

I noticed that you wanted the whole path, so here is another version:
#!/usr/bin/env python2.2
import os
files =
def junk(arg, dirname, names):
for n in names:
files.append( os.path.join(dirname,n) )
# put the path you want here:
os.path.walk("/home/cbarker/junk",junk,None)
# if you want to print them...
for file in files:
print file
