Ross Lagerwall <rosslagerw...@gmail.com> added the comment:

opendir opens a C dirent structure with an underlying file descriptor.

However, to open a directory file descriptor, simple use:
 os.open("/tmp", os.O_RDONLY)

This can then be used as the fd to the functions which require a directory fd 
like os.openat()

Cheers
Ross
