Recursively iterate through all subdirectories using pathlib

How can I use pathlib to recursively iterate over all subdirectories of a given directory?

p = Path('docs')
for child in p.iterdir():
    # do things with child

only seems to iterate over the immediate children of a given directory.

I know this is possible with os.walk() or glob, but I want to use pathlib because I like working with the path objects.

Solution

  • You can use the glob method of a Path object:

    p = Path('docs')
for i in p.glob('**/*'):
     print(i.name)
