ok, what ive found: os.chdir('very_long_path') # works os.listdir('very_long_path') # gives: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: listdir() argument 1 must be (buffer overflow), not str os.chdir('very_long_path') os.listdir('.') #works os.chdir('very_long_path') os.path.getmtime(os.listdir('.')[0]) #throws exception (path not exists) os.chdir('very_long_path') open(os.listdir('.')[0]) #throws exception (path not exists) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
