Personally I'd make it a string subclass and put one-shot properties on it (i.e. call/cache stat() on first access where we don't already know the answer), which I think is close enough to where it's landed that I'm happy. (As far as bikeshedding goes, I prefer "_DirEntry" and no docs :) )

+1 for "_DirEntry" as the name in the implementation, and documenting its behaviour under "scandir" rather than as a standalone object.

Only -0 for full documentation as a standalone class, though.

Cheers, Nick.

Cheers, Steve
