Thanks, this way f will print the full pathname/filename. But f already
does that using Jason Orendorff's path module:
dir = path('/home/wsbs/Maildir')
for f in dir.walkfiles('*'):
print f
Printing the full path/filename isn't the problem. The problem instead
is how to supply f to fileinput.input().
Either the path or the os.path methods cause this line:
for line in fileinput.input(f, inplace=1, backup='.bak'):
to throw this error:
File "./p2.py", line 23, in ?
for line in fileinput.input(f, inplace=1, backup='.bak'):
At this point I believe the error has to do with fileinput, not the path
or os.path modules.
If I give fileinput.input() a hardcoded path/filename in place of 'f'
the program runs. However the program will not accept either f or 'f' as
an argument to fileinput.input().
Again, thanks for guidance on the care and feeding of fileinput.input()
