There's not _really_ anything wrong with this code, provided the length 
of dirList is "short" (since otherwise the performance issues of growing 
strings with += may cause trouble).  It might also be preferable to 
change from the for statement to a "while dirList:" since that doesn't 
require the unused "x" and the confusion of apparently testing the 
length of a list that is getting shorter with each iteration.
