set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug?

[Vincent Davis]

Not sure what is going on here. the set "wset" is large I am sure but ... Is
this something I am going wrong?

def walked_dir(adir):
    wdirset = set()
    for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(adir):
        for name in filenames:
            if isfile(dirpath+'/'+name):
                fullfilename = dirpath+'/'+name
                the_stats = stat(fullfilename)
                wdirset.add((dirpath, tuple(dirnames), tuple(filenames),
fullfilename, name, the_stats))
        if not len(filenames):
            wdirset.add((dirpath, tuple(dirnames), tuple(filenames), None,
None, None))
    return wdirset

directory = '/Users/vmd/Dropbox'
wset = walked_dir(directory)


>>> wset
