New submission from Larry Hastings <la...@hastings.org>: When you pass in a file descriptor as the first argument to listdir, its output is a list of strings, not a list of bytes. This should be mentioned in the documentation. It's also worth making a pass over the other functions accepting an fd.
As it happens, the code that implements this behavior is obtuse. So I propose also modifying it to be more intelligible. ---------- assignee: larry messages: 163885 nosy: georg.brandl, larry, ncoghlan priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Clarify the behavior of listdir(fd) in both code and documentation type: enhancement versions: Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15176> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
