os.walk() maxdepth

[GMTaglia]

I've googled a lot but I couldn't figure out how to implement a maxdepth in
os.walk(), does anybody had the necessity to do something like that?

thanks in advance and....
....as usual forgive my english

No, but

for root, dirs, files in os.walk(whatever):
....
if root.count(os.sep) >= CUTOFF_DEPTH:
del dirs[:]

will prune the search based on the number of separator characters in
the directory currently being visited. Mutating dirs in-place
controls which directories the os.walk generator looks at when it's
resumed. This is only effective in a top-down walk (which is the
default).
