I am writing a program that goes through file hierarchies and I am mostly using scandir for that which produces DirEntry instances.
At times it would be usefull if I could make my own DirEntry for a specific path, however when I try, I get the following diagnostic:
os.DirEntry('snap')
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: cannot create 'posix.DirEntry' instances Does anyone have an idea for why this limitation and how to go around it. At this moment I don't consider pathlib very usefull, it lacks the follow_symlinks parameter in the is_dir, is_file, ... methods. -- Antoon Pardon. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
