[Python-Dev] Updates to PEP 471, the os.scandir() proposal (original) (raw)

Better to just have the attributes be None if they were not fetched. None is better than hasattr anyway, at least in the respect of not having to catch exceptions to function properly.

The thing is, is_dir() and lstat() are not attributes (for a good reason). Please read the relevant "Rejected ideas" sections and let us know what you think. :-)
