Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Doesn't getgrgid() return the untranslated content of /etc/group? Then the encoding of this file is relevant.
On cygwin, "mkgroup -l" is often (exclusively?) used to generate this /etc/group, extracting the user definitions from the Windows settings. Its source code http://www.google.com/codesearch?q=file:mkgroup.c+package:cygwin-1.5 shows that it uses MBCS to encode strings. Maybe we should start considering cygwin as a posix platform with win32 features; but I am not sure to like this idea. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3824> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
