Just want to walk a single directory

[SB]

Hi,

I have a super-simple need to just walk the files in a single directory.

I thought this would do it, but "permanentFilelist" ends up containing 
all folders in all subdirectories.

Could someone spot the problem? I've scoured some threads using XNews reg 
expressions involving os.walk, but couldn't extrapolate the answer for my 
need.

===============================================

thebasedir = "E:\\temp"

permanentFilelist= []

for thepath,thedirnames,thefilenames in os.walk(thebasedir):
    	
    	if thepath != thebasedir:

    	    	thedirnames[:] = []

    	for names in thefilenames:

    	    	permanentFilelist.append(names)
