Python3 & os.walk

[while_e_coyote]

I am trying to write a script using Python 3 and
os.walk. The code is as follows:

import os

path = '/home/systemconttrol/data_logs'

for root, dirs, files in os.walk(path):
   print(files)

I receive no errors in the shell window.
However after hitting return for the line
'print(files)' nothing happens other than
a blank line is displayed. Hitting enter
a second time will create a display listing
of the log files.

If I run the script from the IDE it simply
returns the cursor to the beginning of the
next line and nothing happens after that.
No repeat tapping of the 'Enter' key causes
any change.

OS used is Ubuntu 18.04
Python version is 3.6.5

Any ideas on how t keep this from wandering
off and staring back at me? Thanks

After you hit <enter> after print(files), the interpreter waits because you may want to enter more lines in the for block. You could add print("hello") after print(files) for example. The for loop cannot be executed until the interpreter is sure that you don't want to append anything to this block. That's why you need to type «enter» a second time to indicate the end of the for block.

Thanks for the insight. Added 'print('*********') and VOILA!
