Recursively iterate through all subdirectories using pathlib

Question

How can I use pathlib to recursively iterate over all subdirectories of a given directory?

p = Path(\'docs\')
for child in p.iterdir(): child

Answer 1

Use list comprehensions:

(1) [f.name for f in p.glob("**/*")]  # or
(2) [f.name for f in p.rglob("*")]

You can add if f.is_file() or if f.is_dir() to (1) or (2) if you want to target files only or directories only, respectively. Or replace "*" with some pattern like "*.txt" if you want to target .txt files only.

See this quick guide.
