recursively get all files except the hidden ones with pathlib

Question

I would like to use pathlib to recursively iterate over all files of a given path, except those which are hidden or are in hidden directories. E.g., from

|
|- a.txt
|- .b.txt
|- a/
|  |- c.txt
|  |- .d.txt
|  +- c/
|     +- e.txt
|- .b/
   +- f.txt

I would like to get

a.txt
a/c.txt
a/c/e.txt

Any hints?

You could do something like this:

from pathlib import Path

def non_hidden_files(root):
    for path in root.glob('*'):
        if not path.name.startswith('.'):
            if path.is_file():
                yield str(path)
            else:
                yield from non_hidden_files(path)

print(*non_hidden_files(Path('.')))
