Hum, it's not easy to understand your code. I guess that the problem is that a symlink to a directory can become something else (not a directory or a symlink to a directory). I noticed this race condition in the new implementation of os.walk(), but I don't think that the issue is really new. The old implementation of os.walk() already uses a list of directories. The caller can remove a directory or replace a directory with something else. Since the bug is not documented in os.walk(), I chose to not document it neither. But it would be better to warn users to not do that :-) @Serhiy: I agree that the new implementation changes the behaviour, but I don't consider it as as bug. Do you think that it's a bug? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23605> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
