because that is a generic standard time frame for making software tools compatible. i would want to ask BDL what to use in 2.7? wasn't 2.7 going to get lots of backports from 3.X? os.scandir() seems like it would not break things to be added to 2.7.X (i believe 2.7.14 is next).
if i needed to be compatible with Python 1.X then i would consider that to be like a model-T. there are places i still run across 2.6. in about 9 months, 2.6 will be off my radar but 2.7 will still be there for a while. so that means os.listdir() for me.
