I can't answer this question (not being a Linux dev and not knowing much about this), but I'm +1 for adding DirEntry.inode(). On Windows, we're exposing all the information FindFirst/FindNext give us, but on Linux we expose everything useful from readdir except d_ino, which is easy to add, and according to that reddit comment, may make scandir useful in more real scenarios. -Ben _______________________________________________ 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
