  Description     : Better directory iterator that returns all file info the OS provides

Python module which provides a generator version of os.listdir() that also exposes the extra file information the operating system returns when you iterate a directory.
scandir also provides a much faster version of os.walk(), because it can use the extra file information exposed by the scandir() function.
