[New-bugs-announce] [issue46316] Optimize pathlib.Path.iterdir()

[Barney Gale]

New submission from Barney Gale <barney.gale at gmail.com>:

pathlib.Path.iterdir() contains the following code:

    if name in {'.', '..'}:
        # Yielding a path object for these makes little sense
        continue

This check is unnecessary as os.listdir() does not return entries for '.' or '..':

    os.listdir(path='.')
        Return a list containing the names of the entries in the
        directory given by path. The list is in arbitrary order, and
        does not include the special entries '.' and '..' even if they
        are present in the directory

See https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.listdir
