glob.iglob to find all .txt files in all sub-directories yields error

Question

Simple code gives the below error. It's directly from the docs ( https://docs.python.org/3/library/glob.html )

TypeError: iglob() got an unexpected keyword argument 'recursive'

import glob
for filename in glob.iglob('C:\\**\\*txt', recursive=True):
    print filename

Answer 1

看来你正在使用Python 2.7并阅读Python 3.5文档。

Answer 2

The recursive parameter has been added in python 3.5, which means version 3.4.3 also has that problem.

If you don't want to upgrade your python version, you can use glob2 , which supports recursive calls ( ** ) by default.
