scandir() recursively and return path + filename

[thepythotutor]

Hello malonn, in that code you have some issues to work with, you can append de base directory to the entry name using the os.joinpath function

for Python 2 you have the scandir function in another module, like this

import os
import scandir
def scanRecurse(baseDir):
    for entry in scandir.scandir(baseDir):
        if entry.is_file():
            yield os.path.join(baseDir, entry.name)
        else:
            yield scanRecurse(entry.path)
 
for i in scanRecurse('D:\\App Back-Ups'):
    print(i)

but in python 3, scandir belongs to the os module

import os
def scanRecurse(baseDir):
    for entry in os.scandir(baseDir):
        if entry.is_file():
            yield os.path.join(baseDir, entry.name)
        else:
            yield scanRecurse(entry.path)
 
for i in scanRecurse('D:\\App Back-Ups'):
    print(i)

Remember to fix a bug in one of the yield statements
