[issue26781] os.walk max_depth

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

os.walk() allows more flexible control.

    for root, dirs, files in os.walk(top):
        if is_too_deep(root):
            dirs.clear()
            continue
        ...

You can even walk up to different depth on different parts of the tree. You can limit walking not by the directory depth, but by the length of the path, or the number of links in the path, or what-you-need. Adding separate parameters for all this particular cases is not practical.

I think there is a little need in this feature.
