Ok, my brain's apparently not working right today.. what I'd like to
do is allow the user to specify a directory to exclude (ex- "C:\temp
\test") - then, when os.walk gets to "C:\temp\test", it excludes that
directory and all its subdirectories (so, "C:\temp\mytest\test" should
still be recursed). Isn't what's posted above keying just upon the
final subdirectory (i.e. "test") instead of the full path as a whole?
def canonical(path_name):
return os.path.normpath(os.path.abspath(path_name))
forbidden = 'a/b/c'
home, final = os.path.split(canonical(forbidden))
for base, dirs, files in os.walk('wherever'):
if final in dirs and home == canonical(base):
dirs.remove(final)
