[issue25995] os.walk() consumes a lot of file descriptors

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum added the comment:

I don't like the first solution (it just collects all scandir() results in a list, which defeats one of the purposes of using scandir()), but I don't understand the second solution.

Ideally the number of FDs used should be limited by the depth of the tree being walked, right?
