[issue29475] option to not follow symlinks when globbing

2017-02-07 Thread Ben Longbons
New submission from Ben Longbons: Background: I have a data hierarchy with a lot of "sibling" symlinked directories/files. I want to glob only the non-symlink files, because it's a *huge* performance increase. Before `os.scandir`, I was using a local copy of `glob.

2015-08-04 Thread Ben Longbons
New submission from Ben Longbons: The following code is allowed by the grammar of Python 3.4, but not Python 3.5: `def f(): g(*a or b)` where unary `*` has the lowest precedence, i.e. it is equivalent to: `def f(): g(*(a or b))` The cause of the regression that the 3.4 grammar for `arglist

New submission from Ben Longbons : I frequently construct lists of tuples, such as: [ (1, 2, 3) # oops, missing comma! (4, 5, 6) ] It would be nice if the error message gave a hint on what was *actually* wrong. Although I always use homogeneous containers, the type that's not cal
