Yes... Slashdot. *shudder*. I've had two of my articles Slashdotted,
and both times it left quite a bruise. If it happens again, I have
resolved to simply not read the comments. Like Othello said, there are
some things we are better off not knowing :)

Excellent. But based on Kent's comment, I have discovered that

------
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(prog_variables['vid_path']):
    if dirs == []: print root
------

does the same thing.

Cheers,
