recursively remove all the directories and files which begin with '.'

[albert kao]

How do I recursively remove all the directories and files which begin
with '.'?
My test program rmdir.py does not do the job yet.
Please help.
[code]
#!c:/Python31/python.exe -u
import os
from shutil import *

root = "C:\\test\\com.comp.hw.prod.proj.war\\bin"

for curdir, dirs, files in os.walk(root):
  print (curdir)
  print (dirs)
  for d in dirs:
    print ("d " + d)
    if d.startswith('.'):
      print ("dotd " + os.path.join(curdir, d))
      rmtree(os.path.join(curdir, d))
[/code]

C:\python>rmdir.py
C:\test\com.comp.hw.prod.proj.war\bin
['.svn', 'com']
d .svn
dotd C:\test\com.comp.hw.prod.proj.war\bin\.svn
