Under Windows XP, when using os.walk to walk a tree, I get an error message for a path of 256+ characters. The error looks like error listing directory [[Errno 206] The filename or extension is too long: <omitted> The path in question is 12 directories deep, if that matters. The Windows 'dir' command also doesn't like this path because of its length, but it seems like there ought to be a way to walk it. |

Logged In: YES user_id=33168 I'm not sure, but this may have been fixed in Python 2.5. There should be a shiny new beta coming out in the next couple of days. I believe alpha 2 also has the fix (assuming that beta 1 has it and I'm not remembering some other change). |

Logged In: YES user_id=21627 First of all, it's a limitation of the Microsoft C library that you are running into; that limitation should be removed in Python 2.5, so I'm closing this as "fixed". However, that might only mean that you get a different error: The Windows API is also normally limited to MAX_PATH characters, which is 260 (including drive letter). The only exception to get around that limit is to use Unicode path names that are \\?\ escaped, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/fs/naming_a_file.asp |
