Steve Dower <steve.do...@python.org> added the comment:
It certainly doesn't match "which" semantics, but given the F_OK and X_OK flags I can see cases where it ought not to. I'm not sure it does what it implies for those either though. I can see uses for "find files according to 'which'" and "find executable files according to 'which'". Either way, I don't see an easy way to change the semantics any earlier than 3.8, so changing the target. ---------- versions: +Python 3.8 -Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31405> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
