This is exactly why some of us hate lambda. It encourages
long-way-around thinking.
files.sort(key=lambda x: os.path.dirname(x))
is better written as:
files.sort(key=os.path.dirn

arrrg i did it again, not enough explanation... new to asking for
programing help online.
anyway the reason is that the list can be rearanged later in the
program by another function, and i need a way to put it in order
again.. so yes it is doing some pretty funky stuff, lol.

If your desired output is just a sorted list of files, there is no good
reason that you shouldn't be able sort in place. Unless your app is
doing somethin
thank you for the help, i didn't know you could sort in place like
that. definitly will come in handy.
However, i need the sorting done after the walk, due to the way the
application works... should have specified that, sorry.

However, this will raise a TypeError for unicode directory names while the

Hey all,
if i use a os.walk() to append files to a list like so...
files = []
root = self.path.GetValue() # wx.TextCtrl input
filter = self.fileType.GetValue().lower() # wx.TextCtrl input
not_type = self.not_type.GetValue() # wx.CheckBox input
for base, dirs, walk_files in os.walk(root):
