Get absolute paths of all files in a directory

Question

How do I get the absolute paths of all the files in a directory that could have many sub-folders in Python?

I know os.walk() recursively gives me a list

If you have Python 3.4 or newer you can use pathlib (or a third-party backport if you have an older Python version):

import pathlib
for filepath in pathlib.Path(directory).glob('**/*'):
    print(filepath.absolute())
