This is somewhere between a question and a proposal. I'm just trying to understand why Path objects use an explicit iterdir method. Why not make them iterable?
Because this is ambiguous. Iterating can mean many different things: 1. Iterate characters of string representation of the path (str(path)). 2. Iterate path components (path.parts). 3. Open a file and iterate its lines (path.open()). 4. Iterate files in the directory (path.iterdir()). _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
