I'm well aware of your messages and your requirements. However you
didn't either read or understand what I was trying to tell you. You
don't need to know the recursion depths in order to find the correct
number of "../".


base = os.path.normpath(base)
baselevel = root.count(os.sep)

for root, dirs, files in os.walk(base):
    level = root.count(os.sep) - baselevel
    offset = level * "../"
    ...

See?
