I am trying to use os.walk to go through a directory tree, pull out all the .shp files in it, create a grouplayer in the mxd, rename the grouplayer the folder name, then add the layers from that folder to the group. This is because I have a lot of folders with files in them that represent geologic formations and they don't mean anything once seperated from the name of the formation.
From what I read you can't just add a blank group layer in an mxd from python without first creating a blank one and adding that. The problem starts at the for group_name in rename_group_layer loop. It doesn't even make it through to the print group_name test. Basically it just falls out of the loop from what I can tell.
Then I need to figure out how to add the layers from the folder into the renamed group layer. I have two lines commented out that I think are a start, but I haven't gotten it to go through the renaming loop yet. It will rename the first "New Group Layer" if I put that line above the loop to the correct folder name. I am pretty new to python so any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
