Rather as an aside, the idiom for using os.walk is
for dirpath, dirnames, dirfiles in os.walk(path):
for f in dirnames:
if f in file_skip_list:
print f
filenames.remove(f)
if d in dir_skip_list:
print d
dirnames.remove(f)
More crucially for your code, returning the generator object after having
iterated all the way through it will not do you any good. The generator has
an internal state that puts it at "the end of the iteration" so you cannot
use it to iterate again.
