[Tutor] getting around ValueError in os.walk

[Andrew D. Fant]

I'm working on a program to do some processing on a directory tree. If I had
been doing it in a shell script, the core of the processing would have been in
a "find $ROOT -type f -name FOO -print" command"

On the web, I found a snippet of code that demonstrated the os.walk module and
I created a simple test program to work on my tree that looked like this:

#!/usr/bin/python
import os

for (dirpath. subdirs, filenames) in os.walk("/foo/bar"):
        for file in filenames:
                if file.endswith(".baz"):
                        print os.path.join(dirpath,f)


when I try to run it, I get a "ValueError: too many values to unpack" which I
think  comes from the fact that there is a subdirectory of /foo/bar which has
over 2500 files in it.  The tree can't be easily restructured for legacy
reasons.  Can anyone suggest the best way to get around this in code?

Thanks,
	Andy
