i give a path to a function and i want this funtion to watch in every folder in this path and if there is a folder inside of a folder : watch in too.

def function(path):
   for element in os.listdir(path):
       element_path = os.path.abspath(element)
       if os.isdir(element_path):
           path = os.path.join(path, element)
           function(path)
        elif ... # elif elment is an img do something

This code works but when there is a folder in a folder it doesn't work :/

`element_path = os.path.join(path,element)` – Jean-François Fabre Dec 21 '17 at 21:40

Why not use [`os.walk`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.walk)? – Galen Dec 21 '17 at 21:41
@Jean-FrançoisFabre dans le chemin que je lui précise : il y a deux dossiers mais il n'ouvre pas les deux – icetom 54 Dec 21 '17 at 21:43
@Galen I don't understand how does it work very well – icetom 54 Dec 21 '17 at 21:44
`os.isdir(element_path)` 1) doesn't exist and 2) is false because it doesn't exist. The join is made too late. – Jean-François Fabre Dec 21 '17 at 21:45
