However, given that we have to support this for listdir() anyway, I think it's worth reconsidering whether scandir()'s directory argument can be an integer FD. Given that listdir() already supports it, it will almost certainly be asked for later anyway for someone who's porting some listdir code that uses an FD. Thoughts, Victor?
Please focus on what was accepted in the PEP. We should first test os.scandir(). In a few months, with better feedbacks, we can consider extending os.scandir() to support a file descriptor. There are different issues which should be discussed and decided to implement it (ex: handle the lifetime of the directory file descriptor).
