But watch out with leading backslashes, as in

subdirs = [r'\cgi-bin', r'\images', r'\styles']

os.path.join will assume they are meant to be absolute paths, and will 
discard all previous components:

  >>> os.path.join('base', 'subdomain', r'\images')
'\\images'

In fact I think it's best to specify components without leading or 
trailing backslashes (unless you really want an absolute path):

  >>> os.path.join('base', 'subdomain', 'images')
'base\\subdomain\\images'
