Brett Cannon <br...@python.org> added the comment: Just to fill you in, the discussion centred on the idea of doing a listdir() of the directory the FileFinder was in charge of watching and caching that. Then, when it had to look up a file all it had to do was stat the directory to look for a change before it simply looked at a frozenset of directory contents. That does away with having to stat for every file type (directory, module, extension, etc.) and replaces it with one upfront listdir() and then a single directory stat per lookup.
