It works as expected for me: >>> len(p) 261 >>> print(p) C:\Temp\Jim\Documents\jschw_uiowtv3_old\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\nenlahapcbofgnanklpelkaejcehkggg\0.1.823.675_0\notifications\pages\Cashback\components\CashBackResolve\components\RewardsActivation\components\CashbackSectionSimple os.walk() can list the files in directory `p` if the \\?\ prefix is prepended: >>> next(os.walk('\\\\?\\' + p))[-1] ['spam.txt'] Without the prefix, the internal os.scandir() call fails, but by default the error is ignored: >>> next(os.walk(p))[-1] Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> StopIteration We can print the exception to see that it's the expected ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND (3) error for a path that's too long: >>> next(os.walk(p, onerror=print))[-1] [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified: 'C:\\Temp\\Jim\\Documents\\jschw_uiowtv3_old\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\Default\\Extensions\\nenlahapcbofgnanklpelkaejcehkggg\\0.1.823.675_0\\notifications\\pages\\Cashback\\components\\CashBackResolve\\components\\RewardsActivation\\components\\CashbackSectionSimple' Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> StopIteration ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46084> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
