Bug description:
I had written a script using os.fwalk() and os.lstat(), which was working.
Then I added an if os.lstat in os.supports_dir_fd check and a fallback implementation and observed the fallback path being taken:
import os, sys
from datetime import datetime
oldest = datetime.max
newest = datetime.min
oldest_file = None
newest_file = None
if os.lstat in os.supports_dir_fd:
for dir, _, files, dirfd in os.fwalk(sys.argv[1]):
for file in files:
mtime = os.lstat(file, dir_fd=dirfd).st_mtime
date = datetime.fromtimestamp(mtime)
if date < oldest:
oldest = date
oldest_file = os.path.join(dir, file)
if date > newest:
newest = date
newest_file = os.path.join(dir, file)
else:
print('not using dir_fd')
# for dir, _, files in os.walk(sys.argv[1], followlinks=False): ...
print('Newest:', newest.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H-%M-%S'), newest_file)
print('Oldest:', oldest.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H-%M-%S'), oldest_file)The workaround is to check for os.stat instead (and use os.stat(..., follow_symlinks=False) for consistency).
