Standard library function to remove folder with files and subfolders?

[python at bdurham.com]

Is there a standard library function to remove a folder that may
contain files and subfolders? Or must I write a function that
walks my folder's children and deletes all files/subfolders
first, and then call os.removedirs()?

Thank you,
Malcolm
