scandir, a better directory iterator and faster os.walk()

Installers

  • linux-64 v1.10.0

conda install

To install this package run one of the following:
conda install anaconda-org-build::scandir

Description

scandir() is a directory iteration function like os.listdir(), except that instead of returning a list of bare filenames, it yields DirEntry objects that include file type and stat information along with the name. Using scandir() increases the speed of os.walk() by 2-20 times (depending on the platform and file system) by avoiding unnecessary calls to os.stat() in most cases.
