scandir() is not magic. It simply provides info given by the OS: see readdir() on UNIX and FindFirstFile()/FindNextFile() on Windows. DirEntry calls os.stat() if needed, but it caches the result. DirEntry doc tries to explain when syscalls or required or not, depending on the requested information and the platform: https://docs.python.org/dev/library/os.html#os.DirEntry ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26032> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
