I've checked this in, modified to treat symlinks the same way os.path.walk() treated them, and with docs and test cases. It wasn't my intent to cut off people who want fancier stuff, but available time is finite, and at least now they can demonstrate their sincerity by supplying code, doc, and test suite patches .

For the record - the version I posted (with breadth-first as an option) wasn't reliable (it runs out of stack space on reasonable directory structures).
