Sounds like a good opportunity for the underused for/break/else
construct:
######################################################
ignored_dirs = (
r".\boost\include",
)
if __name__ == "__main__":
# Walk the directory tree rooted at 'source'
for root, dirs, files in os.walk( source ):
for dirname in ignored_dirs:
# may need to normalize to root.lower()
if dirname in root:
print 'Skipping', root
break
else:
CopyFiles( root, files, ".dll" )
