Faster filesearch with Python using glob

In case you have a big-sized deep folder structure with lots of different files the glob is much more faster then os.walk.

import os, sys, glob
def getFilelist(root):
    def listIter(subroot):
    '''Local recursive function.'''
        for name in glob.glob(os.path.join(subroot, '*')):
            print name
            listIter(name)
    listIter(root) # Call recursion.

if __name__ == '__main__':
    sys.exit(getFilelist(r'd:\example'))

In case of searching the group of certain files or folders among the huge amount of files - this search has better performance.
