explictly, you're welcome to do so! If you want automated help in doing so, may I suggest the 'find(1)' command? >smirk<
I don't think there's any equivalent for Windows without buying 3rd party addons (not an acceptable alternative
Fred,
Ignoring the fact that Greg was being facetious (I hope...). There is a free replacement for Win32 called, oddly enough, find. From the cygnus win32 GNU utilties: http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/
Makes a unix-weenie feel right at home on win32.

Perry, Actually, I was already aware of that, and the MKS Toolkit as well (which includes a non-free version of find). However, these are both third-party addons, even if one is free. Since the use of find in this case is quite simple, I think implementing a "manifest" command in distutils would be worth the 15-20 lines of code it would take. I'd hate for us to recommend users to go install YASP ("yet another software package") just to be able to get a list of files and directories!

Extreme off-topic...
Cygwin was benchtested by an Australian computer magazine and it verified that GCC (DJGPP) generates smaller files quicker and in less space than Visual C. [Now I know why python compiles so quickly compared to VC project file;)]
Seriously, Cygwin is basicaly unix for NT
