Count Files in a Directory

[hokieghal99]

def fs_object_count(setpath):
    file_count = 0
    dir_count = 0
    for root, dirs, files in os.walk(setpath):
       file_count += len(files)
       dir_count += len(dirs)
    return file_count, dir_count

I'm using this. Thanks to all for the tips and corrections! It works 
very well on small sets of data (<= 5GB) it is very accurate on this 
data. On largeer (> 20GB) filesystems, the count will be off by 30 to 40 
objects. For example on one 22GB filesystem the OS thinks there are 
100,222 objects in the path, Python thinks there are 100,260... Any 
ideas on this difference?

Thanks!!!
