[issue13734] Add a generic directory walker method to avoid symlink attacks

[Nick Coghlan]

Nick Coghlan <ncoghlan at gmail.com> added the comment:

Another, possibly better, alternative would be to produce a tuple-subclass that adds a separate "dirfd" attribute to the (dirpath, subdirs, files) triple.

I'll stop talking about the walkdir implications here. Instead, I've created a corresponding issue on walkdir's own tracker:
