In the first message in this bug, I wrote: "With the recent spate of POSIX *at() functions added to os, we now have a bunch of places in the API that take directory fds." To be specific: faccessat, fchmodat, fchownat, fstatat, futimesat, linkat, mkdirat, mknodat, openat, readlinkat, renameat, symlinkat, unlinkat, utimensat, mkfifoat. At the time I created this ticket I didn't realize you could just call open() on a directory. It seem that works fine and is supported everywhere that these *at functions exist, so perhaps it's best if we just close this ticket. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12898> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
