That seems unlikely. For example,
  >>> os.path.isdir(r'D:\My Documents')
True

Can you show the code?

Alternatively you might try os.walk() which is a bit easier to use than os.path.walk() and it gives 
you separate lists for files and directories:

  >>> import os
  >>> for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk('f:/tutor'):
  ...   for file in filenames:
  ...     print os.path.join(dirpath, file)
  ...
f:/tutor\AllTheSame.py
f:/tutor\AppendTimes.bmp
ecc...

Or even easier, use jorendorff's path module which has a walkfiles() method that iterates over files 
directly and gives you path objects to work with:

  >>> import path
  >>> for file in path.path('f:/tutor').walkfiles():
  ...   print file
  ...
f:/tutor\AllTheSame.py
f:/tutor\AppendTimes.bmp
f:/tutor\ArtOfWar.txt
etc...
