Would os.walk() be the answer you're looking for?

i.e. assuming you're already in e:\

for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk("."):
     <your code here>

This would traverse the directories in e:

if you wish to limit only to zimi, just:

os.chdir("zimi")
for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk("."):
    <your code here>
