Aviv Palivoda added the comment: I am not sure about the wide use of this feature but I do think this is a nice feature to add to os.walk. I can see how you can implement is_too_deep by counting the number of separators in the path. However I don't think it is trivial to do that. In addition doing the same when topdown is False will not work. As for the other limitations you suggested I think they are less trivial then limiting the recursion depth.
As for the "symlink infinite loop" I agree that it will be better to do that by tracking the paths we have already visited but avoiding infinite loop is just a bonus that you get from this feature. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26781> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
