Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Library Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jack Moffitt (jackiem) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: anydbm and 'n' flag Initial Comment: When a 0 length file exists and anydbm is asked to create a new database with that file name via the anydbm.open(fn, 'n') call, the call fails as whichdb detection fails. whichdb should not be invoked with the 'n' flag, since the purpose of this flag is to always create a database, not only if it is missing. This bug prevents creating a secure temporary file with mkstemp and then uisng that file to open a database. The workaround is to unlink the file then call open, but this is leaving a small hole. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1212223&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
