(I'm surprised that os.DirEntry doesn't exist.) Typing: do you want it to be a generic class? If not, the types can be left out of the stdlib and only put in the stub (though you can show them in the PEP of course). If you want it to be generic we have more work to do. I'm out of time now but we can discuss that after 3pm today. -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido)
