import os
for dirpaths, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(mydir):
print dirpaths
gives me all (sub)directories in mydir. How do I get only the directories at the very bottom of the tree?

By 'very bottom' do you mean the end of each path tree?dawg– dawg2013-07-30 19:39:26 +00:00Commented Jul 30, 2013 at 19:39

This will print out only those directories that have no subdirectories within them
for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(mydir):
if not dirnames:
print dirpath, "has 0 subdirectories and", len(filenames), "files"

Like this?
for dirpaths, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(mydir):
if not dirnames: print dirpaths

I saw two solutions for showing leaf directories (i.e. those that does not contain sub-dir). Bottom-most directories, on the other hand, are not only leaf directories, but also are at the maximum depth. Here is a crude way to figure out the bottom-most directories:
import os
mydir = '/Users/haiv/src/python'
max_depth = 0
bottom_most_dirs = []
for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(mydir):
depth = len(dirpath.split(os.sep))
if max_depth < depth:
max_depth = depth
bottom_most_dirs = [dirpath]
elif max_depth == depth:
bottom_most_dirs.append(dirpath)
print bottom_most_dirs
Comments
import os
mydir='/home/'
print [dirpaths for dirpaths, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(mydir) if not dirnames]
