This effectively substitutes getgrouplist called on the current user for getgroups. In 3.x, I believe the correct action will be to provide direct access to getgrouplist which is while not POSIX (yet?), is widely available.
As a policy, adding non-POSIX functions to the posix module is perfectly fine, as long as there is an autoconf test for it
(plain ifdefs are gruntingly accepted also). Regards, Martin _______________________________________________ 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
