[New-bugs-announce] [issue26781] os.walk max_depth

[Aviv Palivoda]

New submission from Aviv Palivoda:

I am suggesting to add max_depth argument to os.walk. I think this is very useful for two cases. The trivial one is when someone wants to walk on a directory tree up to specific depth. The second one is when you follow symlinks and wish to avoid infinite loop.

The patch add the max_depth both to os.walk and os.fwalk.
