[issue11406] There is no os.listdir() equivalent returning generator instead of list

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

A generator listdir() geared towards performance should probably be able to work in batches, e.g. read 100 entries at once and buffer them in some internal storage (that might mean use readdir_r()). Bonus points if it doesn't release the GIL around each individual entry, but also batches that.
