def get_filepaths(directory):
"""
This function will generate the file names in a directory
tree by walking the tree either top-down or bottom-up. For each
directory in the tree rooted at directory top (including top itself),
it yields a 3-tuple (dirpath, dirnames, filenames).
"""
file_paths = []
for root, directories, files in os.walk(directory):
for filename in files:
filepath = os.path.join(root, filename)
file_paths.append(filepath)
return file_paths
full_file_paths = get_filepaths("/Users/johnny/Desktop/TEST")
