The function doesn't specify a particular order, just that it will hand you a list of files. It grabs those from the underlying file system. It looks like Windows sorts it alphabetically and Linux just does whatever (maybe sorted by creation time?). I don't think it's a bug. If the order matters to you, sort it yourself. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
