As I read this, out of context, it is wrong. It it very unusual to call next on the current iterator (here next(rootobs)), inside a for loop. > You probably want something like : > > for f in rootobs: > file = next This is definitely wrong, as it makes 'find' an alias for the next() function. > base = os.path.basename(file.name) and file.name will be an AttributeError. -+- If one wants to iterate through files and lines within files, which I believe I saw in this thread, one should have a for loop within a for loop. -- Terry Jan Reedy -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
