Answer 1

This is called 'walking' the tree / directories. I believe 'os' contains these functions (I'm checking).

import os
print(os.walk.__doc__)

I regularly check facts, so I just went to CodePlayground to confirm help() was still non-functional. I got a Time Limit Exceeded, then...much to my surprise (it hasn't worked for a year) I got a *gigantic* help() dump...followed by another TLE.

I suspected SoloLearn updated for bigger output; this appears to confirm. Thanks for adding that.

I should not have assumed you were just on CodePlayground; Python's help() system is definitely useful. You can also try Python Docs by Little Drops in Google Play; they just added Dive Into Python and it works offline.

Answer 3

Kirk Schafer, __doc__ is a very good hint

Answer 4

os.walk will do it...
>> help(os) will also help
>>Use Qpython/Qpython3 2.7 and 3.x respectively

Answer 5

@Kirk Schafer... I use both 2.x and 3.x
Just kinda looks like 2.7's pretty slow..
All the best for y'all python coders😍😍
