Hello there, I have an issue with listdir from os, I have 63562 files in the folder and I want all the names in one single list, but listdir only take one thousand files. Someone has an idea to increase this limit or get away with anything else ?

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

or iterdir from pathlib

#

I'm not aware of any limitation on listdir tho

I'll try with scandir, I'll tell you if it worked

apparently os.scandir is meant to overcome the limitations of os.listdir

#

so, how to get the full path with scandir ? entry.path() ?

dusky mirage

entry.path without () I think

limpid bane
#
