Summary: Python 2.1 Falling Over On Win2K

Initial Comment:
Platform: Windows 2000

Python Version: 2.1

Box: AMD Thunderbird 750 with 128meg

Hi,

I don't know if anyone else has experienced this so I 
will put it out there regardless.

I have been using the distribution of Python 2.1 which 
comes with ActiveState ActivePython.

If I walk a directory using the os.path.walk module 
and return the results to a list and then try to 
display this list, Python falls flat on it's face and 
shuts down. 

However this does not occur when using Python 2.0.

The piece of code I have been using is as follows:

import os


def walker(arg, dirname, filenames):
    # Create A List Of Files In A Directory
    for files in filenames:
        arg.append(os.path.join(dirname, files))

DirLst = []

os.path.walk('c:\test\', walker, DirLst)

DirLst # At this point the command should display the 
list to the screen, instead the program shuts itself 
down

Worked fine for me on a directory w/ over 10,000 files 
under it, but I'm not using the ActiveState distribution.  
If this is specific to ActiveState Python, you should 
report the bug to them.

"Falls on its face and shuts down" doesn't mean anything to 
me.  Were you running from a DOS box Python, or perhaps 
from within PythonWin, or Komodo, or ...?  Not enough info 
here.  I tried it from a DOS box Python.  If it works for 
you under a DOS box Python, then problems specific to 
PythonWin or Komodo definitely don't belong here.
