What is the Python way to walk a directory tree?

Question

I feel that assigning files, and folders and doing the += [item] part is a bit hackish. Any suggestions? I\'m using Python 3.2

from os import *
from os.pat

Since Python 3.4 there is new module pathlib. So to get all dirs and files one can do:

from pathlib import Path

dirs = [str(item) for item in Path(path).iterdir() if item.is_dir()]
files = [str(item) for item in Path(path).iterdir() if item.is_file()]
