R. David Murray added the comment: My man page says "The data returned by readdir() may be overwritten by subsequent calls to readdir() for the same directory stream." Ross I believe was quoting from the posix *spec*, so that is a more complete explanation. If an implementation is doing what you said, it would be out of compliance with posix.
Python opens a new directory stream inside listdir, and that directory stream is not exposed to the Python code, so there is no way for another Python thread to cause a problem here. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17428> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
