Jesús Cea Avión added the comment: After reviewing the code, I agree with Martin v. Löwis that "stat.py" is a joke. Neither can we trust the numerical constants (each OS is free to choose a different meaning) neither the code in "filemode()" can cope with modes with more than a bit active (like DOORS).
I think all this code should be moved to a C module, able to access the underlining real constant definitions. What do you think?. Time to deprecate this and move the functionality into posix module, as suggested by Martin?. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11016> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
