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

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

There has been discussion of this before, but it must have been on one of the lists, (possibly py3k list) as searching tracker for 'listdir generator' only returns this.

I believe I pointed out then that Miscrosoft C (also) has (did once) a 'nextdir' function. It's been so long that I forget details.

I thought then and still do that listdir should (have) change (d) like range, map, and filter did, for same reasons.
