As cheesy as it may sound, try uncommenting the two commented 
lines.  For a more explicit variant:

	print repr(dirs)
	print repr(files)

You'll notice that they're lists.

In the directory "root", you'll find the subdirectories given in 
the list "dirs" and you'll find the files given in the list "files".
