What did you write exactly?  I tried the example from the docs and it
worked as expected

import os
from os.path import join, getsize
for root, dirs, files in os.walk('.'):
    print root, "consumes",
    print sum([getsize(join(root, name)) for name in files]),
    print "bytes in", len(files), "non-directory files"
    if 'CVS' in dirs:
        dirs.remove('CVS')  # don't visit CVS directories

I ran that in a directory where if have a CVS subdirectory and that
didn't get visited.
