How to get all of the immediate subdirectories in Python

Question

I\'m trying to write a simple Python script that will copy a index.tpl to index.html in all of the subdirectories (with a few exceptions).

I\'m getting bogged down

Answer 1

os.walk is your friend in this situation.

Straight from the documentation:

walk() generates 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).
