Yes, thanks.
info: None --> DirEntries will have whatever attributes the O/S provides 'type' --> DirEntries will already have at least the file/dir distinction 'stat' --> DirEntries will also already have stat information """ DirEntry.is_dir() Return True if this is a directory-type entry; may call os.lstat if the cache is empty. DirEntry.is_file() Return True if this is a file-type entry; may call os.lstat if the cache is empty. DirEntry.is_symlink() Return True if this is a symbolic link; may call os.lstat if the cache is empty. DirEntry.stat Return the stat info for this link; may call os.lstat if the cache is empty.Why is "is_dir", et al, functions, but "stat" not a function?
Good point. Make stat a function as well. -- ~Ethan~ _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
