On Windows, scandir() is implemented with FindFirstFile() which takes strings. This function creates a handle which should then be passed to FindNextFile(). There is no similar function taking a directory handle, so it's not possible to implement os.scandir(fd) on Windows. It seems like the gnulib emulates fdopendir() on Windows, and its documentation contains warnings: https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/fdopendir.html "But the replacement function is not safe to be used in libraries and is not multithread-safe. Also, the replacement does not guarantee that ‘dirfd(fdopendir(n))==n’ (dirfd might fail, or return a different file descriptor than n)." ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25996> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
