Martin v. Löwis added the comment: Since this is going to be a new API, I would like to return the file type per directory entry where supported. I suggest to start with the Linux set of file types (DT_BLK, ..., DT_UNKNOWN), perhaps under different names, giving 'unknown' on systems which don't support this.
People traversing a directory tree can then skip the stat call if it's neither 'directory' nor 'unknown'. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11406> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
