file tree recursion generator

[DeaD_EyE]

Why do you use your own complicated implementation (which could not handle WindowPaths) instead of using os.walk?


os.walk example as generator

import os
from pathlib import Path


def walk(path, maxdepth=None, sort_key=None, with_files=True, with_dirs=True):
    for depth, (root, dirs, files) in enumerate(os.walk(path)):
        if maxdepth is not None and depth > maxdepth:
            return
        if with_dirs:
            for directory in sorted(dirs, key=sort_key):
                yield Path(root, directory)
        if with_files:
            for file in sorted(files, key=sort_key):
                yield Path(root, file)

If you need compatibility to Python 2.7 (hopefully not), omit pathlib and use os.path.join.
