how to list directory and its subdirectories and its files? In python

April 20, 2022

I’am trying to list all directories and sub-directories and files that hangs from for example C:\Users, i have managed to list all directories or all files, but i can do both at the same time.

Here i list the subdirectories from C:/Users/XXX/Desktop:

  import os
    ejemplo_dir = 'C:/Users/XXX/Desktop'
    with os.scandir(ejemplo_dir) as ficheros:
        subdirectorios = [fichero.name for fichero in ficheros if fichero.is_dir()]
    print(subdirectorios)

Here i list the files from C:/Users/XXX/Desktop:

import os
ejemplo_dir2 = 'C:/Users/XXX/Desktop'
with os.scandir(ejemplo_dir2) as ficheros:
    ficheros = [fichero.name for fichero in ficheros if fichero.is_file()]
print(ficheros)

Someone has some idea of how I can list everything at once?
THX=)

>Solution :

Try using a loop with os.walk and PurePath

import os
from pathlib import PurePath

ROOT = "C:\Users"

for path, subdirs, files in os.walk(ROOT):
    for name in files:
        pure_path = PurePath(path, name)
        print(pure_path)
