To clarify, DirEntry is only exposed in the posix/nt and os modules starting in 3.6. To get a reference to it in 3.5 you have to fall back on something like the following:
import os
try:
from os import DirEntry
except ImportError:
import tempfile
with tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile() as ftemp:
scan = os.scandir(os.path.dirname(ftemp.name))
DirEntry = type(next(scan))
del scan, ftemp, tempfile
In 3.5 os.scandir does not support the with statement or raise a resource warning. That behavior was added in 3.6, for which the workaround shouldn't be required.
