[Pythonmac-SIG] Stupid OS.WALK tricks?

Folks,

	I'm attempting to optimize a quick program, but os.walk
	is sort of interferring...
	
	I'm searching a directory tree for graphic file.... using
	os.walk, and when it finds the file, it copies it to a local
	directory...

	The "problem" here, is that I can't figure out how to
	stop OS.walk (in the visit function) from "continuing" 
	through the rest of the directories, and to just move 
	on to the next file... (There should only be one match)..

	I figure I'm going to have to write a custom walk to
	deal with this scenario....  Does anyone have anything
	similiar?  Or suggestions on dealing with this?

	Doing a "return" or "Break" during the search doesn't seem
	to do this....
