Thanks Rudolph Froger for the bug report: the issue is now fixed in 3.7 and master (future Python 3.8) branches. Sorry for the delay. -- Alexey Izbyshev wrote PR 5773 to also use fstat() on Linux. I chose to merge my PR 12852 which is more conservative: it keeps dup() on Linux. I'm not sure why exactly, but I recall that the author of the function, Antoine Pitrou, wanted to use dup() on Linux. I'm not convinced by the O_PATH issue on Linux (described above), so I merged my conservative change instead. Later, we can still move to fstat() on Linux as well if someone comes with a more concrete example against dup(). ---------- resolution: -> fixed stage: patch review -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32849> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
