Multifile.scanDirectory is not exposed to python

is not exposed to python. I think that is due to it asking for a list of strings. Could we expose functions like this in the future?

Multifile.scanDirectory() isn’t published, but vfs.scanDirectory() is. (It returns a special object that Python can traverse).

If you just want to scan a multifile that hasn’t been mounted, walk through the list of subfiles with Multifile.getNumSubfiles()/Multifile.getSubfileName(n) (or, in 1.6, use Multifile.getSubfileNames()).

Also note that in 1.6 you have direct.stdpy, which provides both listdir() and walk(), reimplementations of the standard os module functions, but vfs-aware.

i used:

        def scanDirectory(mf,path):
            for idx in range(mf.getNumSubfiles()):
                name = mf.getSubfileName(idx)
                if name[0:len(path)] == path:
                    yield name

having reimplementation of standard python function be vfs aware is even better!
