New submission from CJ Kucera <p...@apocalyptech.com>:
It'd be nice to have an option to os.walk which would return DirEntry objects in its return tuple, as opposed to just the string filenames/dirnames. (Or failing that, an alternate function which does so.) The function already uses os.scandir() internally, so the DirEntry objects already exist -- I assume it'd be a pretty easy change. At the moment, if I want to be efficient and use os.scandir() myself, I've got to basically reimplement os.walk(), which seems silly since os.walk is already calling scandir itself. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 341210 nosy: apocalyptech priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Feature Request: An option to os.walk() to return os.DirEntry lists instead of just filenames/dirnames type: enhancement versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36771> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
