Problems with os.walk

Hi everyone

The following code:

scriptPath = os.path.dirname(__file__)
(dirpath, dirnames, filenames) = os.walk(scriptPath)
print 'dirpath\n'
print dirpath
print 'dirnames\n'
pprint.pprint(dirnames)
print 'filenames\n'
pprint.pprint(filnames)

Fails on the os.walk call with the following error:

(dirpath, dirnames, filenames) = os.walk(scriptPath)
ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack

Any ideas what could be wrong?

Thx & greetings
Dominique

You're supposed to loop over values in different directories, like
this:

for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(scriptPath):
... handle dirpath with dirnames and filenames ...

The loop will be executed for each subdirectory (direct and indirect)
of scriptPath.

And if you are simply hand-experimenting, try somthing like:
generator = os.walk(scriptPath)
dirpath, dirnames, filenames = generator.next()
...
dirpath, dirnames, filenames = generator.next()
...
