There is no standards body defining the S_IFMT numerical values. POSIX defines the symbolic constants: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/sys/stat.h.html The Python stat module is flawed in assuming it knows the numeric values (although by tradition, it is correct on all systems we care about). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11016> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
