It certainly looks like it: here are lines 6632--6638 of posixmodule.c, in posix_ftruncate: Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS res = ftruncate(fd, length); Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS if (res < 0) { PyErr_SetFromErrno(PyExc_IOError); return NULL; } Mark _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
