dircache.listdir() or os.listdir()

[kai]

Hello,

I use dircache.listdi r(myDir) in my module repeatedly. On OS WIN 2000
listdir() will re-read the directory structure! But on AIX, listdir()
will not re-read the directory structure (see Python Library
Reference).
I work with python version 2.2.

Now my 2 questions:
Why does dircache.listdi r() work different?
Can I change in my modules dircache.listdi r() with os.listdir() without
problems. I want to use the re-read functionality.

Thanks for your hints, Kai.
