What is the Python way to walk a directory tree?

by

os.walk and os.scandir are great options, however, I’ve been using pathlib more and more, and with pathlib you can use the .glob() or .rglob() (recursive glob) methods:

root_directory = Path(".")
for path_object in root_directory.rglob('*'):
    if path_object.is_file():
        print(f"hi, I'm a file: {path_object}")
    elif path_object.is_dir():
        print(f"hi, I'm a dir: {path_object}")
