iterate through all subdirectories python code example

Example 1: python loop through files in directory recursively

import os
rootdir = './path/to/files/'

for subdir, dirs, files in os.walk(rootdir):
    for file in files:
        print os.path.join(subdir, file)

Example 2: python loop through all folders and subfolders

directory = "c:\\folder\\you\\want\\to\\work_on"

for root, subdirectories, files in os.walk(directory):
    for subdirectory in subdirectories:
        print(os.path.join(root, subdirectory))
    for file in files:
        print(os.path.join(root, file))
