If it's part of the CSAFE scene or viewer I wouldn't worry about portability beyond mac/linux. That code is all optional and can be disabled on other platforms.

I suppose it could; however this would be for reading a special directory structure with nested volume data, and then reading that data into Manta. It would probably be easier to keep it C++ (although I agree file management is much cleaner in python!)

This is for mac and Linux (the platforms intended to run Carson's csafe demo), both of which are posix-compliant. I think Windows even has opendir/readdir equivalents; however I have never tested them out.

I think it depends on what part of Manta would contain platform specific code. What is the operation? Could the directory access be performed in python and then the results passed to Manta code?

Hi everyone,

Is it safe to use POSIX-compliant directory-reading in Manta (i.e. opendir() )?

Anyone know of different/better options?
