# Scandir Rs

**[Planet Python](https://daily.dev/sources/planetpython)** · 3 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

scandir-rs is a Rust-powered Python library that replaces os.walk() and os.scandir() with dramatically faster directory traversal — up to 13× faster on Linux and 70× faster on Windows. Version 2.9.9 adds Python 3.13/3.14 support, ARM64 macOS, Linux PPC64/S390, SSE builds for older CPUs, a follow_links argument, and changes skip_hidden to false by default. The library also provides richer metadata including hardlink detection, extended file type classification, error collection without interrupting traversal, and background async scanning.
