Your args are fine, that's just the way os.path.walk works. If you
just need the absolute pathname of a directory when given a relative
path, you can always use os.path.abspath , too.
A couple more examples that may help, using os.walk:
.... for j in i[1] + i[2]:
.... print os.path.join(i[0], j)
....
/var/log/apache2
/var/log/cups
/var/log/fax
/var/log/krb5kdc
/var/log/ppp
/var/log/sa
/var/log/samba
Or, in the event that a relative path was used:
.... for j in i[1] + i[2]:
.... print os.path.join(i[0], j)
....
/var/log/apache2
/var/log/cups
/var/log/fax
/var/log/krb5kdc
/var/log/ppp
/var/log/sa
/var/log/samba

Jeff,

Thanks for your reply. I would like to like the absolute path of a directory. I thought that os.listdir just returns the nam itself in a data list.

I noticed that none was being return in my example. Do you think that I have the arguments misplaced?
