Is there an alternative to os.walk?

[Bruce]

Hi all,
I have a question about traversing file systems, and could use some
help. Because of directories with many files in them, os.walk appears
to be rather slow. I`m thinking there is a potential for speed-up since
I don`t need os.walk to report filenames of all the files in every
directory it visits. Is there some clever way to use os.walk or another
tool that would provide functionality like os.walk except for the
listing of the filenames?
