Eli Bendersky <eli...@gmail.com> added the comment:
"file_paths(filtered_walk('.', included_files=['*.py']))" is a lot longer than
"rglob('*.py')".
It is, but is that a good enough reason to have both? It can also be achieved
with just a bit more code using the simple `os.walk`. I suppose there are a lot
of instances of stdlib tools where we could add new tools that would make the
code slightly shorter. However, this is not really faithful to the Python
spirit, since it adds too many ways to do achieve the same effect, and
ultimately confuses users.
That it adds additional maintenance burden on the coredevs goes without saying
:-) Each such new burden should have a very good reason.
To conclude, personally I'm -1 on this, especially if `walkdir` eventually
makes it into the stdlib.
