That's not too bad. However, the st.is_dir() function could potentially call os.stat(), so you'd have to be specific about how errors are handled. Also, I'm not too enthusiastic about how much "API weight" this would add -- do you need st.is_link() and st.size() and st.everything_else() as well? -Ben _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
