<p><tt>OS routines for Mac, NT, or Posix depending on what system we're on.<br>
<br>
This exports:<br>
- all functions from posix, nt, os2, or ce, e.g. unlink, stat, etc.<br>
- os.path is one of the modules posixpath, or ntpath<br>
- os.name is 'posix', 'nt', 'os2', 'ce' or 'riscos'<br>
- os.curdir is a string representing the current directory ('.' or ':')<br>
- os.pardir is a string representing the parent directory ('..' or '::')<br>
- os.sep is the (or a most common) pathname separator ('/' or ':' or '\\')<br>
- os.extsep is the extension separator ('.' or '/')<br>
- os.altsep is the alternate pathname separator (None or '/')<br>
- os.pathsep is the component separator used in $PATH etc<br>
- os.linesep is the line separator in text files ('\r' or '\n' or '\r\n')<br>
- os.defpath is the default search path for executables<br>
- os.devnull is the file path of the null device ('/dev/null', etc.)<br>
<br>
Programs that import and use 'os' stand a better chance of being<br>
portable between different platforms. Of course, they must then<br>
only use functions that are defined by all platforms (e.g., unlink<br>
and opendir), and leave all pathname manipulation to os.path<br>
(e.g., split and join).</tt></p>

<br>
For each directory in the directory tree rooted at top (including top<br>
itself, but excluding '.' and '..'), yields a 3-tuple<br>
<br>
dirpath, dirnames, filenames<br>
<br>
dirpath is a string, the path to the directory. dirnames is a list of<br>
the names of the subdirectories in dirpath (excluding '.' and '..').<br>
filenames is a list of the names of the non-directory files in dirpath.<br>
Note that the names in the lists are just names, with no path components.<br>
To get a full path (which begins with top) to a file or directory in<br>
dirpath, do os.path.join(dirpath, name).<br>
<br>
If optional arg 'topdown' is true or not specified, the triple for a<br>
directory is generated before the triples for any of its subdirectories<br>
(directories are generated top down). If topdown is false, the triple<br>
for a directory is generated after the triples for all of its<br>
subdirectories (directories are generated bottom up).<br>
<br>
When topdown is true, the caller can modify the dirnames list in-place<br>
(e.g., via del or slice assignment), and walk will only recurse into the<br>
subdirectories whose names remain in dirnames; this can be used to prune<br>
the search, or to impose a specific order of visiting. Modifying<br>
dirnames when topdown is false is ineffective, since the directories in<br>
dirnames have already been generated by the time dirnames itself is<br>
generated.<br>
<br>
By default errors from the os.<a href="#-listdir">listdir</a>() call are ignored. If<br>
optional arg 'onerror' is specified, it should be a function; it<br>
will be called with one argument, an os.<a href="#error">error</a> instance. It can<br>
report the <a href="#error">error</a> to continue with the walk, or raise the exception<br>
to abort the walk. Note that the filename is available as the<br>
filename attribute of the exception <a href="__builtin__.html#object">object</a>.<br>
<br>
By default, os.walk does not follow symbolic links to subdirectories on<br>
systems that support them. In order to get this functionality, set the<br>
optional argument 'followlinks' to true.<br>
<br>
Caution: if you pass a relative pathname for top, don't change the<br>
current working directory between resumptions of walk. walk never<br>
changes the current directory, and assumes that the client doesn't<br>
either.<br>
<br>
Example:<br>
<br>
import os<br>
from os.path import join, getsize<br>
for root, dirs, files in os.<a href="#-walk">walk</a>('python/Lib/email'):<br>
print root, "consumes",<br>
print sum([getsize(join(root, name)) for name in files]),<br>
print "bytes in", len(files), "non-directory files"<br>
if 'CVS' in dirs:<br>
dirs.<a href="#-remove">remove</a>('CVS') # don't visit CVS directories</tt></dd></dl>
<dl><dt><a name="-write"><strong>write</strong></a>(...)</dt><dd><tt><a href="#-write">write</a>(fd, string) -> byteswritten<br>
<br>
Write a string to a file descriptor.</tt></dd></dl>
