Using os.walk you can skip undesired directories entirely:

for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(starting_dir):
     if "archived" in dirnames:
         dirnames.remove("archived")
     # process filenames, typically:
     for filename in filenames:
         fullfn = os.path.join(dirpath, filename)
         ...
