Walking through directories and files

I'm trying to use the os.walk() method to search all the directory from
a root directory and display their contents. For example, I want my
output to be like the following:
directoryA
stuffs.c
stuffs2.cpp

directoryB
asd.c
asdf.cpp
Any ideas how to do it? Currently, I can only print all the filenames
first and then the directory names.

Thanks
Thierry

import os

for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk("."):
print os.path.basename(dirpath)
for file in filenames:
print file
print

why you cannot just put the print statements in the right order is more
than I can figure out, but I haven't had enough coffee today, so there's
probably a simple explanation.
