Ubuntu Python give full permission to tree

Question

I want to give full permission to a directory and its content in Ubuntu using python. I found a solution here using os.walk:

for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk('.'):
     for filename in filenames:
        path = os.path.join(dirpath, filename)
        os.chmod(path, 0o777) # for example

But I wonder if there isn't a more simple/elegant solution?

Take a look at that http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7187200/chmod-recursively-directories-only — Ahsanul Haque, Oct 28 '15 at 09:13
From @AhsanulHaque linked question, I recommend you do something like `[os.chmod(r, 0777) for r,d,f in os.walk(path)]`. — Remi Guan, Oct 28 '15 at 09:19
