The target_is_directory argument is supposed to be "supported" (i.e. ignored) on other platforms, so you should be able to write portable code easily. I'm not against restoring detection, but it should be non-buggy and correctly unit-tested :) That said it's probably too late for 3.3. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13772> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
