set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug?

Wed Apr 6 23:34:52 EDT 2011

Not sure what is going on here. the set "wset" is large I am sure but ... Is
this something I am going wrong?
def walked_dir(adir):
 wdirset = set()
 for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(adir):
 for name in filenames:
 if isfile(dirpath+'/'+name):
 fullfilename = dirpath+'/'+name
 the_stats = stat(fullfilename)
 wdirset.add((dirpath, tuple(dirnames), tuple(filenames),
fullfilename, name, the_stats))
 if not len(filenames):
 wdirset.add((dirpath, tuple(dirnames), tuple(filenames), None,
None, None))
 return wdirset
directory = '/Users/vmd/Dropbox'
wset = walked_dir(directory)
>>> wset
