| I would find very useful having a version of os.listdir returning a 
generator.

If there are no technical issues in the way, such a replacement (rather 
than addition) would be in line with other list -> iterator replacements in 
3.0 (range, dict,items, etc).  A list could then be obtained with 
list(os.listdir).
