Summary: dircache.listdir doesn't signal error
Initial Comment:
dircache.listidir('some_non_existent_directory') simply
returns an empty list. That's inconsistent with os.listdir
which raises an OSError exception. I think
dircache.listdir
should also raise an exception if the directory can't
be read.
At minimum, though, the difference should be documented.

I agree. I posted patch #707167 to
make it raise the error.
