The problem doesn't seem to be python-specific; it appears the underlying
FindNext function in the Windows API just keeps returning the same file name
instead of moving on.
In VBA in Access 2010:
Public Sub test2(pattern)
Dim fn As String
fn = Dir$(pattern)
Do While fn <> ""
Debug.Print fn
fn = Dir$()
Loop
End Sub
When I execute with test2("Z:BSTImport.py") this loops, apparently forever,
with each iteration returning BSTImport.py. If I give it *.py as the pattern
it prints 2 files (correctly) and exits. I assume the first call to Dir$ does
FindFirst and the later ones do FindNext.
Using the complete path name doesn't help.
This seems both bizarre and a sign that my installation of Windows (not python
for windows) is pretty messed up.

Works just fine on my windows7 machine with python2.7 64bit and
pywin32-221
It yields results for both existing and non existing files.
