Hi, Python 3.3 introduced os.supports_dir_fd to check if some os functions do accept a file descriptor instead of a path. The problem is that os.supports_dir_fd is a list of functions, not a list of function names. If os functions are monkey patched, you cannot test anymore if a function supports file descriptor.
Monkey patching is a common practice in Python. test_os.py replaces os.exec*() functions temporary for example. It's also inconsistent with the new time.get_clock_info() function which expects the name of a time function, not the function directly.
