I see what you mean.  I've built a test that appears to
work, but I don't immediately see the material difference
between this and what your code does.

import os

class Class:
    def func(self, root, files):
        print self
        print root
        print files

arg = Class()
root = r'C:\etvwin'

os.path.walk(root, Class.func, arg)

HTH,
