You could find out exactly what dir entries it's looking at with ktrace. This might help: http://bob.pythonmac.org/archives/2005/02/04/advanced-debugging- techniques-ktrace/ I'm guessing either you have some GIGANTIC directories, bad sectors on the disk, or that it's doing getdirentries on some remote filesystem.. AFP, NFS, WebDAV (or .mac) maybe? -bob _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
