what magic index? the variable named "index" is an argument to the
method it's used in.

Thanks all, those were some great explanations. It seems I have still
still a long way for me to go before I grasp the intricacies of this
language.
That 'magic index' variable bugs me a little however. It gives me the
same feeling as when I see hard-coded variables. I suppose the
generator class
Ack, I get it now. It's not the variable's name ("index") that is
hard-coded, it's just that the for...in... loop sends an argument by
default. That's a lot more comforting.

as explained in the text above the script, this class emulates a
sequence. it does this by implementing the __getindex__
Hi,
I've found this script over at effbot
(http://effbot.org/librarybook/os-path.htm), and I can't get my head
around its inner workings. Here's the script:
import os
class DirectoryWalker:
# a forward iterator that traverses a directory tree
def __init__(self, directory):
self.
