R. David Murray added the comment: As an English speaker, I prefer ineffective. Modifying dirnames does have an effect, it modifies dirnames. What it doesn't do (is ineffective at) is thereby altering the behavior of walk.
If you want to avoid ineffective because its meaning is subtle (a reasonable request), the correct replacement would be "modifying dirnames has no effect on the behavior of the walk", which is wordier but clearer. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25461> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
