Recursively enter each subdirectory of a directory in Python [duplicate]
This question already has an answer here:
Using os.walk() to recursively traverse directories in Python
10 answers
I am new to Python and I am trying to write a function that will be able to enter inside a folder if there all files it should just print their names if it is a folder it should go inside it and print it's files, if there is a folder inside this folder it should also go inside and do that until there is nothing left. For now I haven't found a way to go that deep. Is there a way to do that recursively? How should I proceed my code for some reason doesn't enter all subdirectories. Thanks in advance
def list_files(startpath, d):
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(startpath):
for f in files:
print (f)
for di in dirs:
print (di)
list_files(di, d + 1)
list_files(path, 0)

regular approach is create a function that deal with a folder at one level, then call it recursively when you see a sub folder.

thanks, but I was hoping my function was doing that but for some reason it is not. or should I create a variable path = root + '/' + dir and each time a new dir is added on the top of that add it to my variable path and pass it to my function?

I don't think you need to make a recursive call withos.walk. Remove the recursive call in the second for loop.

May be you can check this answer：
Using os.walk() to recursively traverse directories in Python
which employs os.walk() method like this.
import os
# traverse root directory, and list directories as dirs and files as files
for root, dirs, files in os.walk("."):
path = root.split(os.sep)
print((len(path) - 1) * '---', os.path.basename(root))
for file in files:
print(len(path) * '---', file)
