It is possible to do the same thing with just os.listdir. The use of the Find*File functions was chosen to eliminate duplicating the wait function for the two different cases. Also, it is just less resource and time intensive to use the Find*File API directly (no need to build an entire list when just testing if any entries exist). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15496> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
