From my personal experience, listing all real files and all subdirectories in a directory is a very common use case. Here's a patch that adds the `iterfiles()` and `iterdirs()` methods as a shortcut for `[f for f in p.iterdir() if f.is_dir/file()]` .

See also issue #11406 which is more generic.

Beta is out, so this issue must be targeted for 3.5.

Having an `iterdirs()` method next to `iterdir()` is very confusing. We should find something else, so how about `files()` and `subdirs()`?

Here is a patch with the proposed API. The API for convenience: def files(self, include_symlinks=True): """Iterate over the regular files in this directory. """ def subdirs(self, include_symlinks=True): """Iterate over the subdirectories in this directory. """

Why not implement this pattern with def dirs(pattern) and def files(pattern) where both are a simple shortcut for (p for p in mypath.glob(pattern) if p is_file()) or is_dir() ?
