os.listdir 只显示隐藏文件？

Question

Honestly I have no idea what happened because one second this was working as it should and I was testing and made an unrelated change and now it is not. When I run it it only shows a file called '.vs' and none of the actual files in the directory? It is throwing an error saying I don't have permission. The directory looks fine in the variable explorer.. it never changes.

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import pyodbc
from sqlalchemy import create_engine, event
import urllib
import os


directory = r'C:/users/'
print(directory)

for filename in os.listdir(directory):
    print(filename)

Answer 1

this code prints all hidden files from current dictionary

import os

files = list(os.popen("ls -a")) # on Linux
files = list(os.popen("dir -a")) # on Windows
hidden_files = [hidden.strip() for hidden in files if hidden.startswith(".")][2:]
print(hidden_files)

Answer 2

If you are using windows, go to explorer and right click on the directory then select properties. In the properties window select Security tab. The Security window will show groups or user names that have permissions to access the directory and what they are allowed to do. If you do not have access click on Edit then click on Add. You can add Everyone and give full control in permissions. This should allow full access to the directory. Not a good thing to do security wise but at least it should allow access.
