I saw the article as well, but think auto-sorting would have just provided a thin mask over their serious data pipeline bugs. Also, this isn't the only pathway to seeing file lists: os.listdir, fnmatch, etc. I say that we leave it alone and not unnecessarily introduce a breadth-first, recursive sort. The reasons for the previous rejections still apply. For the most part our tools that access os services only provide a thin pass-through and tend to neither promise nor do anything extra (even SQL only gives sorted data when the user explicitly requests ORDER By -- the could have provided a default sort but choose not to). ---------- nosy: +rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38764> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
