Ah of course, isfile(f) can only return true if it can find f! :)
I'm going to investigate those other functions too :)
Thanks a lot guys!

Hi Tony,
Actually the file is in a different directo

Dear Tony,
You're not in that directory (start_dir) when the isfile() function is
called. See function os.path.curdir() and os.chdir(). Also, you may be
confusing the behavior of os.path.walk(), in which the function called will
happen once you have been chdired to the directory it is examining.
