See the discussions at http://python.org/sf/1226256 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2005-June/054439.html http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2005-July/054535.html I'd be personally curious as to how you would be dealing with Unicode file names. How to access file attributes is also an interesting question (e.g. how to find out whether it is a symlink, whether it is a hidden file, what the POSIX ACL is, and what the 8.3 short name is) Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
