1r"""OS routines for Mac, NT, or Posix depending on what system we're on.
2
3This exports:
4 - all functions from posix, nt, os2, mac, or ce, e.g. unlink, stat, etc.
5 - os.path is one of the modules posixpath, ntpath, or macpath
6 - os.name is 'posix', 'nt', 'os2', 'mac', 'ce' or 'riscos'
7 - os.curdir is a string representing the current directory ('.' or ':')
8 - os.pardir is a string representing the parent directory ('..' or '::')
9 - os.sep is the (or a most common) pathname separator ('/' or ':' or '\\')
10 - os.extsep is the extension separator ('.' or '/')
11 - os.altsep is the alternate pathname separator (None or '/')
12 - os.pathsep is the component separator used in $PATH etc
13 - os.linesep is the line separator in text files ('\r' or '\n' or '\r\n')
14 - os.defpath is the default search path for executables
15 - os.devnull is the file path of the null device ('/dev/null', etc.)
16
17Programs that import and use 'os' stand a better chance of being
18portable between different platforms. Of course, they must then
19only use functions that are defined by all platforms (e.g., unlink
20and opendir), and leave all pathname manipulation to os.path
21(e.g., split and join).

219 """Directory tree generator.
220
221 For each directory in the directory tree rooted at top (including top
222 itself, but excluding '.' and '..'), yields a 3-tuple
223
224 dirpath, dirnames, filenames
225
226 dirpath is a string, the path to the directory. dirnames is a list of
227 the names of the subdirectories in dirpath (excluding '.' and '..').
228 filenames is a list of the names of the non-directory files in dirpath.
229 Note that the names in the lists are just names, with no path components.
230 To get a full path (which begins with top) to a file or directory in
231 dirpath, do os.path.join(dirpath, name).
232
233 If optional arg 'topdown' is true or not specified, the triple for a
234 directory is generated before the triples for any of its subdirectories
235 (directories are generated top down). If topdown is false, the triple
236 for a directory is generated after the triples for all of its
237 subdirectories (directories are generated bottom up).
238
239 When topdown is true, the caller can modify the dirnames list in-place
240 (e.g., via del or slice assignment), and walk will only recurse into the
241 subdirectories whose names remain in dirnames; this can be used to prune
242 the search, or to impose a specific order of visiting. Modifying
243 dirnames when topdown is false is ineffective, since the directories in
244 dirnames have already been generated by the time dirnames itself is
245 generated.
246
247 By default errors from the os.listdir() call are ignored. If
248 optional arg 'onerror' is specified, it should be a function; it
249 will be called with one argument, an os.error instance. It can
250 report the error to continue with the walk, or raise the exception
251 to abort the walk. Note that the filename is available as the
252 filename attribute of the exception object.
253
254 Caution: if you pass a relative pathname for top, don't change the
255 current working directory between resumptions of walk. walk never
256 changes the current directory, and assumes that the client doesn't
257 either.
258
259 Example:
260
261 from os.path import join, getsize
262 for root, dirs, files in walk('python/Lib/email'):
263 print root, "consumes",
264 print sum([getsize(join(root, name)) for name in files]),
265 print "bytes in", len(files), "non-directory files"
