2 years ago Aaah that's interesting. I figured that TypeError was probably from a sorting operation, seeing this work really narrows it down.
Windows doesn't seem to like Python reading from that directory while Teams is reading from it. Python raises some kind of OSError object, listdupes catches it and stores info from the object, but the code I wrote to handle that assumes an OSError will always provide a file name. Turns out that's not true. So, if the OSError doesn't provide that directory's name, that would explain why attempting to sort the error info fails.
I wanna study a few parts of this, but I should have a likely fix for this ready for testing in a day or two.

When you try to run listdupes.py on folders that contain other folders with files being used by apps, you will get a
TypeError: '<' not supported between instances of 'NoneType' and 'str'error (figure 1).No error caused when you run listdupes.py on the same folder when the app isn't running (figure 2).
However, whenever you run listdupes.py on any of those nested folders even while the app is still running, the error goes away (figure 3).
(NOTE: there are 8 folders within IndexedDB, I just didn't include them all in the picture. None of them throws an error when listdupes is ran on them.)
