To get a list of all subdirectories in a directory, recursively, you can use the os.walk function. It returns a three tuple with first entry being all the subdirectories.
You can use it as follows:
import os subdirs = [x[0] for x in os.walk('.')] print(subdirs)
You can also list the directories(immediate only) using the os.listdir function and filtering the list using the os.path.isdir function.
For example
import os d = '.' subdirs = [os.path.join(d, o) for o in os.listdir(d) if os.path.isdir(os.path.join(d,o))]
