Jeremy Kloth added the comment: I've updated the comment in the patch to reflect Martin's concern.
Martin is partially correct in that the handle opened in the stat() call will not prolong the pending status. It is due to the fact that it does not open the handle with any sharing mode set, thus effectively blocking any other process from grabbing another handle to the file while the stat function has its handle open. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file26693/support.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15496> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
