How to touch all the files recursively using Python?
To touch all the files recursively, you need to walk the directory tree using os.walk and add touch all the files in it using os.utime(path_to_file).
example
import os # Recursively walk the tree for root, dirs, files in os.walk(path): for file in files: # Set utime to current time os.utime(os.path.join(root, file))
In Python 3.4+, you can directly use the pathlib module to touch files.
example
from pathlib import Path import os # Recursively walk the tree for root, dirs, files in os.walk(path): for file in files: Path(os.path.join(root, file)).touch()
