Very much agreed that this isn't necessary for just readdir/FindNext errors. We've never had this level of detail before -- if listdir() fails half way through (very unlikely) it just bombs with OSError and you get no entries at all. If you really really want this (again very unlikely), you can always use call next() directly and catch OSError around that call. -Ben _______________________________________________ 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
