Google code search for os.execlp\([^*,]+\) lang:python returns 15 hits, two of which are the same as Matthias found. I am not sure what these results mean for the issue (and Matthias does not reach a conclusion either.) Note that the status quo in 3.x is that os.execlp(single_arg) is invalid, so all these examples will stop working in 3.x and will not be fixed by 2to3. My patch will only make failure happen sooner and reason for it more obvious. I am not very happy about issue1039 (r57731) to begin with. (See my comments at issue8154.) It was rather hastily applied 3.x feature without a corresponding -3 warning and not even a mention in the NEWS file. However if r57731 stays as a strict POSIX compliance feature, I think it will be cleaner to enforce >1 argument to os.execl* functions in their signatures rather than in a run-time check. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8191> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
