Well, for web site maintance, i've written a few fuctions that recruse 
over a tree and apply other scripts to files with certain extentions. 
(i.e. turn .sxhtml into .html by combining with a .msxhtml template :), 
and this is about how i've gone about doing it. It's probably not the 
best way, but you can probably change it to do what you need.

----
import os

def getList( path, ):

    list = []
    os.chdir( path )
    dir = os.listdir( '.' )
    our_dir = os.path.abspath('.')

    for name in dir:
        list += [os.path.abspath(name)]
        if os.path.isdir(name):
            list += getList(os.path.abspath(name))
            os.chdir( our_dir )

    return list

and then this bit of code

x = getList ('c:/desk/sproj')
x.sort()
for i in x:
    print i

produces
c:\desk\sproj\MANIFEST
c:\desk\sproj\calls.stats.sx
c:\desk\sproj\error.sx
c:\desk\sproj\gfx
c:\desk\sproj\gfx\default.png
