Or a bit more efficiently (no need to allocate a new list for storing
files+dirs):

from itertools import chain
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(path):
	for fs_object in chain(files,dirs):
		ADD fs_object to dictionary

Or you can download the path.py module
(http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/):

from path import path
for fs_object in path(root).walk():
	ADD fs_object to dictionary
