Hi, The "DirEntry" name comes from the POSIX structure "direntry". You should not instanciate the DirEntry class nor store it, so not check its type neither (isinstance(something, os.DirEntry)). I don't think that the exact name of the class matters. I had prefer DirectoryEntry, but "dir" shortcut is common in the Python os module (os.listdir) and in POSIX strandard (opendir, struct direntry). You are coming late. The PEP was discussed during 3 months (may-july 2014), and Ben started to work on it since 2012! See the PEP for details: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0471/#naming I accepted the PEP and I don't plan to modify it even if you have a serious rationale for the change. Bikeshedding is not :-) By the way, the PEP is implemnted. os.scandir() is already in the latest python 3.5 alpha. Optimized os.walk() will be in the next alpha.

Should be replaced with os.FsEntry or os.ScanEntry
