We could expose the class with a constructor that always fails (the C code could construct instances through a backdoor). Exposing the type is useful for type annotations, e.g. def is_foobar(de: os.DirEntry) -> bool: ... and for the occasional isinstance() check. Also, what does the scandir package mentioned by the OP use as the constructor signature? -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido)
