Recursive list using os.walk

I'm trying to build a list of path names. The code I have so far is :

os.chdir(inputDir)

if Resursive is False:
filePathList = [os.path.join(inputDir, f) for f in os.listdir(inputDir) if f.endswith('.tif')]

if Resursive is True:
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(inputDir):
for file in files:
if file.endswith('.tif'):
filePathList = (os.path.join(root, file))


Obviously this causes a problem where in the Recursive is True case the filePathList gets overwritten each time. In other languages I'd do something like filePathList[i] = (os.path.join(root, file)) but using walk file and files aren't numbers that can be used as index values.

Recursive is True

filePathList

filePathList[i] = (os.path.join(root, file))

walk

file

files

What's the best way to handle in the Recursive is True case?

Recursive is True

filePathList =

filePathList.append(os.path.join(root, file))
