Hynek Schlawack <h...@ox.cx> added the comment: Charles, I don't think you can blame autofs here. The problem at hand is that makedirs() never checks whether the directory exists (that would trigger the mount too I presume). Instead, it tries a mkdir and looks if it gets an EEXIST.
If you try that approach in this case where /net is non-writable and /net/prodigy appears only on demand, it fails with an EPERM instead. Have a look at http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/8215aaccc9dd/Lib/os.py#l136 especially line 151. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14702> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
