You need to provide a way to invalidate the stat cache, DirEntry.clearcache() for example.
Hmm, I'm not sure why, as the stat result is cached on the DirEntry instance (not the class). If you don't want the cached version, just call os.stat() yourself, or throw away the DirEntry instance. DirEntry instances would just be used for dealing with scandir() results. -Ben
