Nick's walkdir is "just" an improved walk - with a lot of added functionality, like filtering etc. But it's still based on os.walk(), which in turn uses listdir(), since it's currently the only way to list the content of a directory. So in short, it won't help for this issue. To limit the memory usage, on would have to have to use an iterator based on readdir(). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11406> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
