recursive file scan
#6
it is close to rsync, but will not be doing any copying. for my initial thing i am just wanting to look for differences in the names and paths. i do know i can walk each tree and get a list, repeat for 2nd tree, and compare, but that only scales so far. so i want to do it where i can get each name one at a time. i will be comparing up to 5 filesystems that are 8 Exabytes (8388608 Terabytes) in size, each.

the documentation says os.walk is a generator. shouldn't there be a way to get the next entry in the walk because it is a generator? can i treat it as an iterator?
