glob.iglob to find all .txt files in all sub-directories yields error

Simple code gives the below error. It's directly from the docs (https://docs.python.org/3/library/glob.html)

TypeError: iglob() got an unexpected keyword argument 'recursive'

import glob
for filename in glob.iglob('C:\\**\\*txt', recursive=True):
    print filename

The recursive parameter has been added in python 3.5, which means version 3.4.3 also has that problem.

If you don't want to upgrade your python version, you can use glob2, which supports recursive calls (**) by default.

It seems you're using Python 2.7 and reading the Python 3.5 documentation.
