TypeError: walk() got an unexpected keyword argument 'followlinks'

[Greg Grossmeier]

Latest (from git) Zeya requires python2.6, crashes with 2.5.

When I delete the "followlinks=True" argument from line 172 it runs fine.

Maybe to keep Zeya compatible with older pythons there could be a test of which version of python is being used, and call os.walk accordingly?

This is a simple fix to test what version of python is being used and call os.walk() accordingly. It works for me, but others testing it would be greatly appreciated.
