Main Script

class WalkDir():

    def __init__(self):
        self.path = input("Type your path:\n")
        self.exclude_dir = [input("Type dir(s) to exclude (e.g. folder1,folder2...) or else <enter>:\n")]

    def walk_dir(self):
        if os.path.isdir(self.path):
            for current_dir, dirs, filenames in os.walk(top=self.path, topdown=True):
                dirs[:] = [d for d in dirs if d not in self.exclude_dir]
                for file in filenames:
                    print(f'Files paths: {current_dir}/{file}\n')
            print(f'Files: {filenames}\n')
            return filenames

        else:
            print(f'Invalid path: {self.path}\n')
            return  None

The script above simply inputs: a path from the user and dir(s) to exclude, then it prints the file(s) name(s), repo.
