Summary: os.path.walk behavior on symlinks

Initial Comment:
os.path.walk won't recurse on symlinks pointing to
directories. That's okay - it's probably a reasonable
default behavior to have. It would be nice to point
this out in the docstring, however - something like:


"Note: os.path.walk will not recurse into symlinks
pointing to directories. You can accomplish this
yourself by checking os.path.isdir(file) and
os.path.islink(file) in func, and reinvocing walk from
there"
