I feel that "The Right Way" to walk through a directory tree is with a generator. Therefore I suggest that a generator

walk2(topdir, hidden=None)

be added to os.path. It yields all the files and directories under (and including) "topdir". If "hidden" is true, then hidden files and directories are included.

Thanks, Ed Jones
