Yes, but what does 'ls -al .' show you? You didn't put any kind of path in your calls to isfile/isdir, so you are checking for the existence of files/directories called '.DS_Store' etc. in the *current* directory, not the one above. From your output I'd guess you have .DS_Store and aaa.txt files but the other names are not duplicated. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
