Hence I'm +1 on the general idea but -1 on something stat like. IMHO os.scandir() should yield four objects: * name * inode * file type or DTUNKNOWN * statresult or None statresult shall only be returned when the operating systems provides a full stat result as returned by os.stat().
But what if some systems return more than the file type and less than a full stat result? The general problem is POSIX's terrible inertia. I feel that a stat result with some None fields would be an acceptable compromise here.

Antoine.
