I know that we can use os.walk()
to list all sub-directories or all files in a directory. However, I would like to list the full directory tree content:
- Subdirectory 1:
- file11
- file12
- Sub-sub-directory 11:
- file111
- file112
- Subdirectory 2:
- file21
- sub-sub-directory 21
- sub-sub-directory 22
- sub-sub-sub-directory 221
- file 2211
How to best achieve this in Python?
Here's a function to do that with formatting:
import os
def list_files(startpath):
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(startpath):
level = root.replace(startpath, '').count(os.sep)
indent = ' ' * 4 * (level)
print('{}{}/'.format(indent, os.path.basename(root)))
subindent = ' ' * 4 * (level + 1)
for f in files:
print('{}{}'.format(subindent, f))
