Yes, among other things. You can e.g. have a look at os.fwalk() or shutil._rmtree_safe_fd() to see that using those *properly* is far from being trivial. > You don't like the dir_fd parameter of os functions? Exactly, I think it complicates the API for little benefit (FWIW, no other language I know of exposes them). _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
