Eryk Sun added the comment: Python appends "\*.*" to the path, so in the case in which the leaf element is a file, FindFirstFile naturally fails with ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND.
Python 3.5+ could maybe switch to calling CreateFile to open a handle and GetFileInformationByHandleEx to get the FILE_ID_BOTH_DIR_INFO (added in Vista, so this couldn't be backported to 2.7). It would first have to get the FILE_BASIC_INFO for the file attributes to ensure that the target is a directory. This could also support listing directories by file descriptor on Windows, since the CRT has O_OBTAIN_DIR (0x2000) for opening a directory. ---------- nosy: +eryksun _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29366> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
