Donald Stufft added the comment: I also contest the idea that os functions must only be thin shells around system provided calls (even though I don't think that using getrandom instead of reading from /dev/urandom violates that assertion).
There are a number of functions in os.py that add additional logic ontop of the system calls, like: * os.makedirs * os.removedirs * os.renames * os.walk * os.popen (which actually imports and uses the entire subprocess module) * os.scandir That's just from a quick scan of the pure Python os.py file. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27266> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
