Actually, there's Gregory's scandir() implementation (returning a generator to be able to cope with large directories) on it's way:
http://bugs.python.org/issue11406
It's already been suggested to make it return a tuple (with d_type). I'm sure a review of the code (especially the Windows implementation) will be welcome.
Ah, thanks for the pointer, I hadn't seen that. Definitely looks like I should "merge" Betterwalk with it. I'll see if I can spend some time on it again soon. I'd love to see scandir/iterdir go into Python 3.4, and I'd be very chuffed if iterdir_stat got in, because that's the one that can really start speeding up operations like os.walk(). -Ben
