+1 Or put it another way: Python isn't POSIX but it exposes POSIX APIs, they should act like POSIX APIs. It's perfectly fine to provide alternative APIs that have different behavior. I think it's exactly analogous to Python exposing Windows or OS X specific APIs. -Barry _______________________________________________ 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
