Ah, yes.  I should have said that the standard python libraries probably had 
such a call (I didn't remember one in the os module).  I just meant that any 
implementation, such as shutil.rmtree(), would operate by removing all files 
in a directory (perhaps recursively), before removing the directory.  I was 
answering the technical question of how to remove a directory, rather than 
the practical question of what standard code exists that already does this. 
:)  My apologies for being unclear.
