gh-89727: Fix pathlib.Path.walk RecursionError on deep trees #100282

zmievsa · 2022-12-15T22:46:49Z

Use a stack to implement pathlib.Path.walk iteratively instead of recursively to avoid hitting recursion limits on deeply nested trees.

Issue: Change shutil.rmtree and os.walk to support very deep hierarchies #89727

LGTM. I assume because of the initial underscore we don't have to worry about people who may have subclassed Path and overridden the _walk method (now to no effect.)

zmievsa · 2022-12-20T22:47:56Z

@carljm remember that Path.walk has only been created in 3.12 which means that 99% of libraries/projects do not and cannot depend on it yet.

zmievsa · 2022-12-24T10:38:09Z

@barneygale any estimates of when you will have time to take a look at it? No pressure or rush though.

barneygale · 2022-12-24T15:10:14Z

I'll look at this within the next few days!

@AlexWaygood what would be the next steps for this PR? I am ready to continue improving it

@barneygale thanks!

Wow. Have you received merge rights? Congrats! Did they make you a core developer or is that a special rule just for you and pathlib?

AlexWaygood · 2023-03-22T18:31:57Z

We made him a core dev! https://discuss.python.org/t/vote-to-promote-barney-gale/24801

barneygale · 2023-03-22T20:04:51Z

@Ovsyanka83 thanks for your patience and for working on this, it's a neat patch :). I'm hoping to build an iterative version of glob() atop!
