Edit Question
Title
Body
I'm trying to create a utility class for traversing all the files in a directory, including those within subdirectories and sub-subdirectories. I tried to use a generator because generators are cool; however, I hit a snag. def grab_files(directory): for name in os.listdir(directory): full_path = os.path.join(directory, name) if os.path.isdir(full_path): yield grab_files(full_path) elif os.path.isfile(full_path): yield full_path else: print('Unidentified name %s. It could be a symbolic link' % full_path) When the generator reaches a directory, it simply yields the memory location of the new generator; it doesn't give me the contents of the directory. How can I make the generator yield the contents of the directory instead of a new generator? If there's already a simple library function to recursively list all the files in a directory structure, tell me about it. I don't intend to replicate a library function.
