[issue40486] pathlib's iterdir doesn't specify what happens if directory content change

Facundo Batista added the comment: However, Serhiy, `os.listdir()` builds a list quickly and gives you that, so the chance of the directory being modified is quite low (however, for big directories, that may happen, and it's probably good to notice that in the docs). For `Path.iterdir()`

[issue40486] pathlib's iterdir doesn't specify what happens if directory content change

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: There is no principal difference between Path.iterdir() and os.listdir(). Somebody can change the directory during iteration. The only difference is that in the latter case you iterate in C instead of Python, so it is less easy to catch a race condition.
