In Python 2.5 you can at least say os.listdir('') which had the same effect. In Python 2.7 you can't.
Strictly speaking I think the default value should be os.path.curdir, not specifically '.' +1 from me +1 on allowing the empty string argument again (may avoid breaking some old code) Rob Cliffe On 12/01/2012 15:02, Michael Foord wrote:
Hello all, I frequently use Python from the interactive interpreter as a shell. It is a frequent, but mild, irritant that I have to type os.listdir('.') instead of just os.listdir(). How about making '.' a default argument for os.listdir ?
