Running on Outdated Python and OS about scandir HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi @jasonterando Hmmm, that's an interesting one. I don't have enough Linux knowledge to know how/where .so libraries are found. Is there a path that's not configured correctly? I dunno. This isn't actually a scandir issue, however, as ctypes.util.find_library can't find it, so I'm going to close this issue here. I'd probably start by reading up about how find_library works on Linux, perhaps starting with the source code as it doesn't look heavily documented: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/e71662c1ae817e728233ce93882c5b20f4c31ebc/Lib/ctypes/util.py#L92 ... it could be that your system is unable to exec the process's that find_library uses?

Ok, thanks for the response, I'll did into that documentation and see if I can make heads or tails of it. For now, I'll just use the Linux "find" command to iterate through directories and use that to feed directories/files into my Python script.
