Tried to use os.walk, but the structure of its return value is really unhandy for such a use (strange, because it seems to me this precise use is typical). On the other hand, os.path.walk seemed to meet my needs, but it is deprecated.

I often use Fredrik Lundh's implementation, when I need a recursive
'glob'. And even though it was contributed some time ago, it appears to
be 3.x compatible.
